>In White House briefings last week, President Trump touted hydroxychloroquine as a game-changer and talked up its anecdotal promise as a treatment for covid-19. After I heard my medication mentioned on the news, I rushed to obtain a 90-day supply. A sympathetic pharmacist told me, “You’re exactly the person I want to get this medication to” — before breaking the news that pills are on back order and that I wasn’t authorized for a 90-day supply even with 11 monthly refills on file.
And then everybody clapped.
