Now, if you disagree with this system, fight to change it in one way or the other. Advocate deregulation of the medical establishment. Claim that pharmacists should be considered solely private merchants, and not require governmentally issued licenses to practice their trade. But the idea that pharmacists should be able to pick and choose which prescriptions they fill out runs entirely against the current system, for better or for worse.

Do I understand your position to be that if you are licensed by the gov't to conduct business, then you shouldn't object when they place some stricture on how you conduct your business?

You can object, but if you break the law you have to accept the consequences. I see no injustice in this regulation, in recquires pharmacists to fill prescriptions by doctors.
