Prescription Tracking system:

Didn’t Jeb and the Repubs rule FL for a long time? Why didn’t “the Party of Character” make a State law to establish a prescription tracking system? Doctors & medical groups want it, so they can monitor a patient’s drug use. Federal money is available. But such a law, that would prevent deadly overdoses, has no chance in “Pro-Life” FL?

Jeb and the Repubs didn’t consider that “High Tech” enough? They handed out $235 Million supposedly for life-saving drug research. So why not a common sense prescription tracking system, like 37 other states have? With his brother in the White House, Jeb could have pushed for a national system.

Instead, here we go again, throwing more people in Jail. Palm Beach Co. Sheriff’s detective Gary Martin is quoted 2-8-08 in the PBPost. “We’re aggressively looking at a broad range of statutes....If someone took an active role in an overdose death, we’re going to charge them”. The PBP article by Jane Musgrave continues. “Detectives are keeping track of doctors... and if the same name turns up in overdoses, that doctor can expect a visit from a person in uniform”.

This “nation under God” has 500,000 “Drug Criminals” in jail already. Police can kick in doors, strip search 10-year olds, and confiscate property used for drug purposes, for 50 years? Are we better off now, than when George Washington grew hemp and took laudanum for the pain in his jaw, in “the land of the free...”?
