No problem to send it electronically, just tell the provider or to send it to 
the CVS or Walgreens which every is cheaper and to save both on your pharmacy 
list. They'll know the workflow. 2 years running eprescribing for a major 
hospital. Only problem with eprescribing is that each script costs the pharmacy 
$.25, each refill $.17, it is almost humorous watching the pharmacies try not 
to have to pay the fees. So much better workflow for them, no paper to keep 
track of, just a queue on a computer (which seems to be difficult for some 
stores).

Sandor,
You must realize the all mighty hand of 'the free market' will take of this 
problem.  It will also fix the problem of having a prescription sent across the 
street from your Walgreens to the CVS because that store has Xalatan 25.00 
cheaper.  Go ahead and try it, get them to sent it electronically and see how 
far you get!  Small issues like greed and 'expert care' will help the patients 
keep up with their current medications and eleminate redundant testing.  We 
don't need to use the internet or information exchanges, just keep hand writing 
prescriptions and faxing visual fields.  It will all work out.

Ah, you've just highlighted the problem with socialized medicine.  Without 
responsibility and accountability, there is no sense of doing the right thing.  
The system I fear the most with Obamacare.   While in principle, socialized 
medicine sounds great.  In practice, not so much.  Ask those in Canada, the UK, 
Australia, Russia.  How's that working for you?

If you don't have a vested interest in the financial outcome, then the less 
work the better.

My two cents.
