A retinal scan to verify that the person filling the prescription is the same person it was prescribed to, patient data sent over encrypted communications to check for drug interactions and preventing doctor shopping--all of this information, plus some, in a statewide database. This could be the future of medicine access control.
Colorado lawmakers want to make medication dispensing more secure by establishing a new medical database and requiring biometric verification when patients fill prescriptions, but critics of the plan worry that with the amount of data lawmakers want to collect, information breaches could be more damaging to patients than ever before.

Blacks, Hispanics and elderly hurt the most
But it’s impossible to find illegal aliens or keep them from getting jobs here. /s
WHAAAAT? Rectinal scans? To distinguish one a-hole from another?
Oh, retinal scans.
(Sigh of relief)
but you still don’t need ID to vote. This country is so screwed.
It would be oppressive to require an ID to vote, but to allow someone to purchase the medication their doctor prescribed and the person needs, the person will have to jump through hoops
Ken Summers - a Romney hack
Thomas Massey - a Romney hack
Betty Boyd - a real Democrat hack

Why in the hell are there so many politicians willing to give up liberty? Are these people stupid? Is this the result of 40 years of public education?
Glenn Beck today asked: “Would you rather be a slave and have stuff or be broke and free?”
I fear that the answer of a majority of people would be the first choice.
Calirado, managing the plantation for the degreed, licensed, certified and approved, bipartisan, environmentalist, animal-worshiping, government-linked bosses, who see all, hear all and know all. No one else is allowed to do business activities. Maybe it’s a good time to consider designing, planning and building in Wyoming instead.
Some people need friends and family to pick up scripts. This is silly..
They can require this, but voter ID is un-constitutional??
Emailed Ken Summers and asked him about this...
Got a smart-ass reply...Doesn’t know a thing about it...Says facts can be an elusive thing...
Shilling for the security contractor who will eventually install and monitor/service the equipment?
I should be able to expect more from a “republican”, but anymore have to ask why?
From a Leftard like Boyd, this retinal scan crap is the kind of big bro/nannie state crap I’d expect...
Massey and Summers are nominal “republicans”, and should know better...But both appear to be Romney-bots, so that explains a lot...
I know...Why not a bar code tattoo for everyone...Maybe on our forehead above the eyes...
The pharmacist could just use a free barcode reader app on his smart phone to ID the customer...
But then there wouldn’t be any many-million dollar contracts for the pols’ buddies...
Email his response to some of the papers that ran the story. Let them gnaw at him and get back to you.
this will just drive more and more traffic underground...
No, the druggies were ruining only themselves - it's the War On Drugs and the "conservatives" who cheer for it who ruined it for everybody. And ridiculous restrictions on cold medicine are the least of their ruinations.
“No, the druggies were ruining only themselves - it’s the War On Drugs and the “conservatives” who cheer for it who ruined it for everybody.”
I’m glad you finally posited an honest Us/Them syllogism.
As I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks now, you are not a conservative. You are a liberaltarain, and as such, you are more closely aligned with liberal DemocRats who also identify ideologically with the radical individualism that Bork in “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” so brilliantly argues is one of two demons that is destroying American culture from within.
I’m far more literate than you, son.
The quotes do not change the context.
So much for 90-day mail order.
“security contractor”
Retinal scanning and fingerprinting devices are routinely used in certain environments right now.
Got Verichip?
The following proves you're wrong.
The quotes do not change the context.
The quotes indicate that They are not real conservatives.
The Drug warriors and liberals are the biggest threat to our freedoms today.
You were attacking true conservatives.
Like all liberals, you try to redefine the terms to subvert.
Just like we see so many American flags on the cars of people who have bumper stickers supporting blatant communists.
You would have us believe true “conservatives” support the total degradation of society. You are wrong, and the quotation marks do not change the context.
Like all liberals, you try to redefine the terms to subvert.
Here's how FR founder Jim Robinson defines conservatism; the elements I've boldfaced clearly go against the War On Drugs. (And no, you may not assume that I'm saying the unboldfaced elements support the War On Drugs.)
"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America." - Jim Robinson, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1103363/posts
