Because it would help track drug abuse.

Addictive Opioids can and do wreak havoc in families and society. They need to be tracked and monitored from their source to their end user. The only way to monitor those who doctor shop and use multiple pharmacies to obtain opioids is a to have this monitoring system. Period. Wake up Missouri!

To Harold , I don't like big brother, the dems like big brother, I also don't like watching addicts killing themselves with drugs and taking others with them. With a simple tracking system people would not get lethal doses, to kill themselves with or to sell to others.

This needs to be CONFIDENTIAL. BIG BROTHER has no business with this info.

Audrey Shewmaker

It makes it harder for those who are on them for a good reason.

Max

Drug abuse is not a good reason.

Steve TheBmann

The beauracracy is already too big. We need to find simpler, less cost effective ways of controlling meds.

Max

Criminals can't skirt this law. It's a good law.

Max

Don't vote for Democrats.

Steve TheBmann

Also, more laws do nothing for the criminals and seemingly only punish the law abiding tax paying citizens.

It is the leading story on most of major news sites. It was all a made up game with a predetermined conclusion. How many dems/republicans are laughing and patting themselves on the back this morning telling each other 'Same time next year?'

Don't care one way or another, nor do those making the decisions in Congress, as they still are getting a paycheck.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Max

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.
