"Doctor shopping" wasn't even a crime during part of the period that they're investigating

Doctor shopping is illegal, since when? I never heard of such a thing. How many states is it illegal? What is the difference between doctor shopping and getting a second opinion/alternative medication? I know lots of people who get medication, then go to another doctor(usu because they were unsatisfied with the first doctor or the first medication) who may or may not prescribe the same or different medication

The whole thing goes back to this insane WOD
It has done more to erode our privacy and rights than any thing else

Maybe this will open Rush's eyes to the fact

A little about the Florida Doctor Shopping law is discussed on the above linked thread.....

It's a new law in Florida only, where conviction is a felony for the shopper, but a misdemeanor for the shoppee (the doctor). Why do I get the feeling that Rush will be the first, and only, person charged under this new law?

Remember, Dubya had a sealed DUI conviction (a common practice 30 years ago) magically unsealed after the state law was changed to allow that. Why do I get the feeling a klinton operative was poking around in sealed court records, looking for dirt that could then be "unsealed"? This Rush case has the same look-and-feel of other klinton dirty business.

That's a very good question I have been wondering about myself. I recently went "dentist shopping" after being totally unsatisfied with the quality of work, attitude and prices of two consequtive dental practioners. Am I a criminal?

This whole "doctor shopping" charge seems damn odd to me.
