For Walgreens customers like Kristin Ketzler, the worry goes through her mind when she thinks of having to move pharmacies.

"I wouldn't go to the Telehealth because you have to worry whether or not it's going to get delivered to the correct address or whether shipping is getting delayed," she told CBS News Detroit.

Sohobah owns over 20 pharmacies in Michigan. He says he isn't too worried about the metro area's difficult access to medicine, but he is concerned about the rural ones.

"Smaller towns and villages all over us. I know in Michigan there's at least 10 villages in Michigan that only have a Rite Aid; that's their only pharmacy provider," he said.

According to Sohobah, the pharmacy industry is in a bit of a crisis because, without pharmacies, there's a declining need for pharmacists. With hundreds of closures ⁘ that means hundreds out of work.

"That effect is there 100%. There are at least 200-300 pharmacists in Michigan who would love to get a full-time job today," he said.
