Supe, surely there's already a piece of medicaid in place to oversee some part of this process. My grandpa can't just go get any medications he feels like and expect medacaid to pay for it. I don't buy the idea that this one bit of checking would cause such a massive workload on the overburdened gubmint [sic] employees that we'd need to throw more money at it. Someone's already doing the job somewhere, just add this line to their job discription, and boom, done. endo story.

Of course... it is a little more complicated than that... As soon as we start digging into the medical files of sex offenders, we'd have such stand-up organizations as nambla filing lawsuits. I think the burden needs to be upon doctors to know their patients, and not even be able to perscribe the meds. Doctors already have the medical info, they know who the limp-dicked offenders are if they are treating one.
