Another possible, just as accurate, wording for the headline could have been:
“New Jersey Ensures Pharmacy Customers Can Recieve Legal Perscription Drugs From Any Licensed Pharmacy”

Baloney.

Any law that forces people to engage in commerce against their will is a farce.

The state of New Jersey may as well pass legislation forcing Toyota dealers to sell Fords.

That would be a very misleading headline. There is a wide verity of drugs that are legal for prescription use that many or most licensed pharmacies do not carry what so ever. There are many reasons for this. The drug is too expensive, it has a short shelf life, it requires special storage or handling and if it is a rarely used drug.

New Jersey pharmacies must now fill prescriptions for any drug they stock or locate another nearby pharmacy that carries the drug. They do not have to carry the drug!

I have to wonder what happens when a hemophiliac patient comes into one of NJ's pharmacies with a prescription for Recombinate. Do they arrest the pharmacist for not being able to fill it and not being able to find a local pharmacy which can?

History is filled with "legal" atrocities throughout the ages, and the willing fools who went along with the pogram.

Oh, and btw, do learn how to spell. It's "receive" not "recieve" and "prescription" not "perscription".
