U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin joined more than 30 of her Senate colleagues in a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy calling on him to immediately reverse all operational and organizational changes that have resulted in delays of critical medications to Americans.The Postal Service is an essential public institution that must uphold its duty to serve every community. Your recently implemented changes pose an unacceptable threat and continue to have a devastating effect on communities that rely on consistent access to medication through the mail. We have received numerous reports from seniors about delays in receiving their prescriptions through the mail leaving some without life-sustaining medication for days. Others have been forced to obtain emergency prescriptions from their doctors and pay out-of-pocket for medication because their original prescriptions covered by insurance never arrived wrote the Senators.We call on you to immediately reverse all operational and organizational changes that have resulted in life-threatening delays of critical medications to Americans. As you noted it is imperative for the Postal Service to operate efficiently and effectively while continuing to provide service that meets the needs of its customers. Right now the Postal Service is failing to meet the needs of many Americans and adhere to its mission of prompt reliable and efficient services to patrons in all areas. As we continue to fight this pandemic the Postal Service is integral to keeping millions of Americans safe especially seniors people with chronic conditions and people with disabilities continued the Senators.
