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!

Max

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.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
