The state is planning to start a prescription drug tracker. They say that they need to protect us from prescription drugs. So, if you fill a prescription for an addictive drug, you will have to give your identifying information to a database so that they can track what prescriptions you fill when and where. Read this article about it.

Apparently, the Public Health Council discussed it on March 12th. What they plan to do is to amend the Prescription Monitoring Program, as far as I can tell. You guys know how hard the government makes it to find out what it is doing. If any of you can find out anymore, it would be much appreciated.
