This PDMP bill is garbage - it will not work as it does not stop with the source - THE DOCTORS are the source! The wrong bill passed. The only purpose of this bill is for toilet paper. You can still use fake ID and doctor shop. The reporting is all up to the pharmacy, it bit too late with prescription in hand, the pipeline continues to flow, when will our lawmakers get it? How many more have to die?? This is disgusting to read. FALSE INFO ABOUT THIS BILL!!

Same ole same ole from the meaningless PBP…attack anything Republican or Jeb Bush or Jeb Bush’s dadgummed disciples that are everywhere don’t you know!!
Medical Doctors are drug kingpins, pill pushers, dope suppliers…… AND, that is why all insurance programs are keelhauled with out of sight Waste, Fraud and Abuse!!
Have an over-50 male or female make an undercover visit to any doctor in PBC. FIRST, you will get lab tests up your wazoo - most doctor groups also own their own labs…. NEXT, you will get at least three prescriptions - and they will all be for branded drugs unless your protest loudly!
For the male, you will get something for “blood pressure”, something for “cholesterol” and something for “gastric distress”. If doctor visits make you a little “anxious” you will also see an antidepressant. Did you see those ads asking you to mention to your doctor your potential ED?? Got you fixed there too!!
For the female, the first three are still good, but let’s make sure you also get some “bone candy”…
On your next Dental visit, pick up the brochure for all the new lasers installed in the back. We have eliminated cavities, gotta push up the revenue some other way. Did we mention our newest wrinkle elimination laser??
YES, America spends 50% more per person on HealthCare!! BECAUSE we got 200% more HealthCare options already!!
Will those new Gov’ment clinics hand out the same candy??

Misinformation: The Bill does not stop Doctor Shopping. Rep Skidmore, for whatever reason, is not being honest about the bill. A 20 year old kid can still get OxyContin easily from more than one unscrupulous doctor. Skidmore is not being honest about the drugs as well. The opioids for treating chronic pain is a hoax that has gone on for too long. Does Skidmore suggest heroin for chronic pain too? Heroin is interchangable with OxyContin.
