Bu$h reveals the Republican Healthcare Plan.

Prescription medications have been discovered in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans.

President Bush "calls that the Republican healthcare plan."

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the 'Flouride in the drinking water' conspiracy. Don't confuse me.

I'll give you an example of "socialized medicine". I recently got a letter from Medicaid saying that any Rx written for a medicaid pt. must be on a certain type of new paper regulated by the federal govt. If I write an Rx on my old prescription pad for a Medicaid recipient, the pharmacist cannot fill it. Myself and the pharmacist are criminally liable. Me for writing the Rx on paper I've been writing in on for two decades and the pharmacist for filling an Rx written on paper he's been filling Rx's on for decades. Why does this law apply to Medicaid recipients and not self pay and private ins. pts.? Because Medicaid pts. have a tendency to copy prescriptions and have them filled illegally. Yet the law abiding practitioners are liable. Not the lowlifes committing fraud.
My solution: I will no longer write narcotic prescriptions for Medicaid pts. Antibiotics only. On whatever paper the feds want.
This new ruling will only further chase practitioners away from accepting Medicaid.

Give it time, it may spread.

I wonder how big a problem this is.
