Gov. Bush lobbies for drug-tracking database

TALLAHASSEE -- A proposal Gov. Jeb Bush is championing to create a massive electronic tracking system of who is prescribing and who is using prescription drugs is in trouble in the Florida Legislature.

With three weeks left in the 2004 lawmaking session, Bush is doing high-pressure lobbying to persuade leaders of his own party about the merits of the database.

It could allow doctors, designated medical assistants and pharmacists to look up online the pharmacy records of patients over the age of 17 to ensure they haven't been shopping for multiple prescriptions.

his daughter, Noelle is gonna need a separate database of her own, lol

1. What about HIPPA?
My mother had to give her pharmacy (where they know me) a signed release for me to just pick up her prescriptions.

4. Hey, lay off Noelle. She's the only Bush I like.
I'd like to see Rush Limbaugh's database, of course.

6. Um.. no
Let me reiterate..

HELL NO! My medications are tracked by my doctor, my insurance company and now he wants the state to keep track of it too? What I have to take to stay healthy is NONE of their business, even if none of them are controlled dangerous substances.

Where was this brilliant piece of legislation when Rush was shopping for Oxycontin? :puke:

7. Another fine public service...
...from a family that's squeaky-clean and free of scandal. If there's one thing our government needs to do, it's crack down on substance abusers.
