Hi Julie:

I like this idea, but would like the program much more if it was offered in
partnership or monitored by a non-profit or other group that provided Rite
Aid with specific guidelines on how to interact with participants.

A number of potential problems for consumers with limited verbal and/or
reading skills immediately come to mind, such as:

1) conversion of prescriptions without a doctor's consent - or with consent
based on difficult to understand conversion forms

2) enrollment in other programs without informed consent

...and on and on.
