Reply to comment by iwanttobehappy2022 in Lamont proposes allowing CT pharmacists to prescribe birth control by gabbydeben

THIS is what I'm trying to say but people are so reactionary I'm getting downvoted .

Because it makes no sense to be worried. If cvs wants to do this, they totally can, and they have space for it — minute clinic — or will create space for it. They can and will hire more staff or spend what’s needed to make that money. They’ll be fine.

But most importantly, they’re not making pharmacists provide this service, they’re trying to make it so they can rx and expand access.

Yeah…. Nah. Nobody is adding more to their plates. They have the training to be able to properly administer BC. It’s an option to start writing them. If someone is overwhelmed, they won’t.

I strongly recommend you take a step back and see what this actually is before responding again.

Did you even read the article?

Yeah I did. I’m talking how cvs and Walgreens staff their pharmacies, they’re usually understaffed as is. It’s just allowing pharmacists to write scripts for birth control pills. I’m saying people should be an established patient with a pcp doctor at the least to mitigate rare but possible side effects or complications. But if this helps I’m for it.

I’m very confused. No clue what article you read but what was proposed is letting pharmacists write scripts for birth control pills. There is a provision in the bill that allows aprns and pa’s to preform suction abortions. APRN’s and PA’s are not pharmacists. They don’t work behind the counters at the pharmacy. It had nothing to do with my comment about how cvs and Walgreens understaffing their pharmacies. Nor did I say I was against abortion or against increasing access to birth control. I just said it would be better to increase women’s access and privacy to primary care doctors instead having the busy pharmacist write scripts because it would reduce chances of very rare but possible side effects.

Lmao yeah, you really have no clue what you’re talking about here but I see that you think you do, while being too arrogant to look up a VERY COMMON convention of the lawmaking process…

So again, have a good day.

Modern Birth control pills have fewer health risks than OTC Tylenol and Advil. Are you in favor of those two medications becoming prescription only then?

Define fewer risks. Are they known or unknown risks by the general public? Quantify that and compare them to me. Second, this bill does not remove the need for a prescription. If CVS had an aprn or doctor or pa on staff to write the scripts, review medical history, answer questions and ask some questions to make sure every is okay…I’m fine with that.

Lmao they came at you with “but there are known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns” and they never thought to consider their own “unknown knowns” — the shii they don’t know that they don’t know but others do.

He ain’t gonna read the article you linked, he didn’t even read the one in the post judging by the other thread he’s in with me. 😂

Some people just think they know it all already and can’t be told that they don’t. This is one of them.

Arrogance tbh.

You are very lonely and a weird person lol. Using 2 accounts to harass me for supporting the expansion of bc access in our state…simply because I stated pharmacists at chain pharmacies are spread too thin and voiced I would like women to be provided greater and more private access to doctors? Really weird man. Then you claim I didn’t read the short ass article, which I did and summarized it. Im not sure if you are mentally all there but you don’t seem okay nor have you made a logical point. What’s more bizarre, it seems you have read a completely different article and you seem to misreading my comments. I hope you stabilize.

You want birth control to be available without a prescription, fine but that’s not what this proposal is about. You keep restating, pregnant in capital letters which again is odd.

Hope for the best for you sir. If you want to start taking birth control or get an abortion, have at it, have fun. Best of luck bro!

And maybe the other oddly hyper aggressive commenter and you can become friends and go outside touch grass interact. Seek drug and mental health treatment.
