There are medications that doctors only prescribe on four-week or thirty-day cycles. You cannot go to the pharmacy to get a renewal until the date of the refill arrives, which both the pharmacy and the doctor have on file. The pharmacy will not allow the patient to have the medication, even a day early.

In case of an emergency, like a hurricane or some other life-altering event, this can make it very difficult to get medications prescribed.

It is not unusual for the pharmacy to need to contact my doctor when filling my prescriptions. If I were to run out of my medications and communications were in such disarray that the pharmacy could not get authorization from my doctor, I could very well find myself in a potentially hazardous position.

Throw prescription shortages into the mix, and this has the makings of a nightmare for someone like me.

Rationing is something that keeps me up at night. How would I access my medications? I wouldn't be able to.

I believe that is according to plan. Socialism never protects those that they think are weak. That's been the sinister truth behind Obamacare, all along. It's never been about health care. It's only about controlling the population.

Absolutely right. Socialist/Fascist/Commies/Progressives are NOT about humanitarian societies. It is all about Power, like rapist. When the U.S is not around to save the starving, ill and oppressed of the world. Which is the Obama administrations goal. What will the world look like?
