Leslie,
I don't know why it didn't dawn on any of us any sooner. It's not really about the security of the Rx or attempting to really control and reduce drug abuse. Just look at our boarders with all the illegal and drug traffic down there while we tie our boarder patrol's hands. Most of the time they are not even allowed to draw their firearms, while their is serious violence going on around them and at them. Do you really think that their friends in Big Pharma are going to stand for a 1/3 reduction in pain and other abused drugs sales??? Heck know, it certainly is not about any of these smoke a mirrors issues.
It's about requiring you all to have to purchase and work with the largest software vendors of these products who have done the most intense lobbying and paid the best contributions, all while at the same time allowing the gov't and carriers to use the networking and recieving computer systems to track and control you....
They can't track and control nearly as well with the faxes, not all that they care to watch gets captured that way, or at least it's not a fast or as reliable. But with computers and the internet, they will get to capture your prescribing habits in real time as they happen. I swear it must be in the tracking that they really want... Along with getting their buddies software company lots of forced business.
Pleasant dreams.
