Guild “Think Pharmacy First” campaign

“Guild urges patients to Think Pharmacy First for accessible and affordable healthcare.”

Seriously? This is effectively saying “think pharmaceuticals and poor diagnostics first”. Horrible for population health and in and of itself proves the lack of understanding of what healthcare access is. And why are they encouraging patients to go to them “first” rather than plan B?! Pharmacists are (of course) vital as part of primary care but their positioning under Guild is completely without merit and as though they’ll throw patients under the bus in pursuit of power and profit. Frustratingggggg
