Callers join in to share their frustrations and personal experiences with pharmacies closing, discussing how these changes are affecting their daily lives and what solutions might look like.
Segment 3 shifts to a major fraud case out of Minnesota involving $2 million, as Tory reflects on integrity and emphasizes that during his own advocacy work, he never took advantage of opportunities for personal gain.
