duane, according to a 2019 study by the american medical association, one in eight pharmacies closed between 2009 and 2015, and these closures disproportionately affected independent pharmacies in low-income neighborhoods. in st. louis, 15% of residents live more than a mile away from a pharmacy and a lack of trust in culturally insensitive medical providers, which i've seen firsthand, can pose such a great barrier to care like a lack of transportation. what can we do to level the playing field so we can keep serving our communities and those hard to reach populations? mr. duane: yes, ma'am. thank you for the question. the biggest thing we can do is make sure providers are being not asked to subsidize any system that is in place. and i think -- my pharmacy is in a predominantly low-income area as well. and sometimes we have to make heavy decisions about whether we participate in certain medicare plans or whether we participate in certain medicaid plans because we know it won't be sustainable for us to do. that shouldn't be a choice. i should do what i went to school to do, what god p
