"10-25 cents per script" That's the dumbest things I've heard in a week. It would be too much at a penny.
Why isn't there a standard that the open source community can write a free implementation of? And why is it set up to go to certain Pharmacies instead of a central repository? I assume so larger pharmacies can rope patients into using them for convenience. :| It sounds like a good idea.
Maybe I'm overlooking something.
Edit: I've decided my above comment is unacceptably ignorant. I looked for the standard, but couldn't find it. I'll look again this evening.
Oh, and thanks Jeff for giving me your take on a public forum, I appreciate being able to see the doctors responses since I form many of my perspectives from their reactions.
Edit2: Looks like I found it.
