Open wide
and say ‘Ahhh,
are you a doctor?”
In the well-intentioned search to reduce health care costs, the
Georgia General Assembly is considering a series of bills and proposals
that would make it legal for people who have never been to medical
school to write drug prescriptions.
Medical assistants, nurses, optometrists, even psychologists -
valuable as they are - would be allowed to write prescriptions just like
doctors. Even though they aren't.
We think that’s wrong. Patients deserve the guarantee that the
medicine they take is prescribed by a medical doctor. Drugs are too risky
for anything less.
We believe it’s crucial our legislators keep their focus on the patient.
Just as we believe it’s crucial to improve the health care system on all
fronts. So it works better for everyone.
We believe the answer lies in one simple question.
It’s a question that can quickly bring focus to the debate. It can
establish common ground. And be an invaluable guide in designing
effective new proposals, be they local, corporate or national.
Conclusion? Whenever health care is the issue, this should be the
only real question: J s gQQjj meditine?
