Chig you paint a pretty picture. I've seen people on multiple drugs and few pharmacies are really 100% on catching prescriber error. Not to mention herbals etc. The idea that a big blue brother would keep us safe from scribbled scripts and our own stupidity is intriguing. Of course privacy etc. Maybe it's something we can get over. but legislating against the health care and insurance powers requires a lot of courage, or at least a retiring politician. You know they want to know all about us, and even have advised patients that "only" Lipitor" prescriptions will be reimbursed. It's okay I guess, if Lipitor does work for you! Be nice to know if another med would be better. I have always prefferred my physician to prescribe for me, as long as he isnt a paid consultant or enjoying ski trips on my health! The idea that an insurer can "prescribe" by economic dictates is not my idea of good medicine. Dnap could save us all from this, but we all know change can be slow unless you have a big stick. Or, maybe you have a few friends with big sticks. I think we may be gathering a potent force!
