Wilson Seeks To Delay New Prescription Requirements
In the recently passed War Supplemental bill there was a provision requiring that to be eligible for medicare reimbursement prescriptions must be written on tamper resistant pads. Now this is a good thing, it'll help stop fraud. The problem is that it takes effect Monday (10/1) and there has been some problems trying to get everyone switched over to these tamper resistant pads.
Because of these problems Rep. Charlie Wilson introduced a bill in the House (with bipartisan support) yesterday that would delay this requirement for six months in an attempt to help ease this transition. In the Senate Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and George Voinovich (R-OH) presented a similar bill.
In a press release Wilson said a six month delay was "just good common sense" and continued on to say that he wants "to do the right thing and allow doctors, pharmacists and patients the time needed to study the new law and properly prepare for it".

What does prescriptions have to do with a War Supplemental Bill? Why not put it out there in the open? Wilson should be fighting for transparency in government!
It's hard to tell who put prescriptions in the War Supplemental Bill and I don't care much for it either. Fixing that is probably impossible for the time being though.
If you were in prison getting raped, would you say, "Fixing that is probably impossible for the time being though." Or would you fight? One thing we all, folks outside the two beltways of I-495 in DC and I-270 in Columbus, is that the political class is raping us everyday and you can either do nothing and go along with the rape or fight back. I choose to fight back.
One thing the left and the right in the country should be working together for is transparency in government and elections. It's just like Ron Paul said, we would not have the divide in this country if the war deal was not made in the backrooms of Congress, but for each congressman voting up or down for the war and authorizing the war.
You are young, just don't sit there and let these fools tell you their rhetoric; stand up to them and demand accountability and transparency. Do you really believe Brown, Wilson, Strickland, Voinovich, DeWine and the like really have your best interest at heart? Hell no they are narcissistic oligarchs that crave power. Sure we elect them but we have to keep all of them, no matter the party, on a very short leash.
But is it right to put off everything else until then? We both agree that open government is a good thing, but it's also not something that's going to happen.
