Farther north, Walgreens announced this week that it would shutter 12 stores across San Francisco due to “increased regulatory and reimbursement pressures,” CBS News reported.

Trumpov was found guilty of falsifying records to disguise reimbursements for a $130,000 hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels as legal expenses in 2016.

“Even if universal reimbursement is achieved tomorrow, there will always be a need for our agencies,” Hensley says.

The NHS does not match the increasing prices that the pharmacy has to pay, Mr Pau added, which means his business covers the rest of the cost - without reimbursement.

The conviction stemmed from Trumpov's attempt to disguise a reimbursement for a $130,000 hush-money payment made to an adult film star, who said she had a past sexual encounter with Trumpov.
