Austin, TX & Walgreens

This is a less shadowy area.

Because Walgreens has a contract to provide pharmacy services to patients in Austin’s “medical assistance” program, the terms of such a deal could easily require Walgreens to stock and dose out emergency contraceptives.

As long as the consequences of not doing so are in the marketplace and not criminal or civil then…

About The Blog


Medicine, healthcare policy, and random commentary from a medical student still on the naive side of the fence.
I'm a third year medical student in Texas.

I did my undergrad work in USC's School of Cinema-Television Cinematic Arts. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen & Television. I loved it, but a future of waiting tables and taking meetings with B-List producers was not for me.

This blog is ostensibly to discuss healthcare policy and maybe educate a few of my fellow medical students. But it will stray into current events, politics, and other science topics when they draw my interest



Other odd notes about me:
