I'm against it because it is my right to decide if I want medical care.

We should get rid of prescription service altogether. If I want to buy my own meds and treat myself as I see fit, then that should be my right. If I want to become pop a couple dozen oxy 80's because I have the flu, that is my right.

It is all part of the 1984 mentality that we should let the government decide what is best for us. The day that such a thing occurs, I will cry 'Revolution' from the rooftops.

Along with this, I have no issue with insurance companies wanting you to see a doctor. If I want their coverage for my medication, then it is THEIR right to know that I'm not just popping pills because of an educated (or not) guess. If I want them to shell out the cash, then they have all the rights in the world to demand that I go to a doctor and have my 'need' for those drugs validated.

But, for the government or insurance companies to say that I must go to a doc when I'm not asking for their money, is a violation of the principles of human rights that we supposedly hold so dear.
