There's a bill before Congress now, brought there by Walmart, that would require Vets to offer prescriptions to their clients. Sounds great, right? I mean, most vets just immediately tell their staff to get the meds ready, charge you for them and out the door you go. But then, think of the unintended consequences. Vets would then be MANDATED to fill out a form stating that a paper Rx was handed to you, a legal paper trail; his office costs would go up; the money that he might make on the meds mark-up is lost and the Government has one more inch of the camels nose in our tents. The Vets may stop stocking meds that they keep there for the convenience of the client (and to mark up for sure). ""H.R. 1406 would impose new stipulations on veterinary prescriptions. The bill requires a veterinarian to 1) write a prescription whether or not he/she will dispense the product; 2) provide a written disclosure notifying clients that they may fill prescriptions at the veterinary clinic or at an off-site pharmacy; and 3) verify a prescription electronically or by other means consistent with applicable state law." go to http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php and type the bill # in the search box. Who loses on this? We do. Vet's costs go up, Government now has more of the nose in small businesses, and we spend more of our hard earned money at the Vet's offices. A bit OT, but something to ponder and decide for yourselves/ Storm ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2011.
