Part of the problem, you want to fix things with drugs, what do you do, regulate how much they can make?
Yeah that worked wonders when Clinton regulated prices on the Flu Vaccine.
Part of the reason he can't just write your old prescription is because technically he's legally liable for saying that's a current assessment of your vision. Theoretically, if you left the office with a renewal of your old lenses, and then got into a car accident, someone might dig that up and claim that the old prescription was partially responsible. This is not completely unreasonable. It's like when people want to get Viagra off the internet without seeing a doctor, but then if they have a heart attack they want to sue somebody.
It seems there should be some middle ground whereby he can write an order for your old glasses prescription, but do ent that you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery, etc. while wearing those (like we do with sedatives).
Buuuut, as I said in a previous thread on contacts, don't around with your eyes. If you get neovascularization or any kind of chronic inflammation or infection from wearing old contacts, that could be lifelong problems with your vision.
As for prescription drugs, the price difference between US and Canada is definitely a scam. It's had even gone so far that the former FDA commissioner (who was in the pocket of Big Pharma) went on 60 Minutes and spouted some jaw-dropping BS about how the FDA was concerned about the quality of Canadian drugs.

Couldn't you have just given your prescription to 1800Contacts?

... but what the has happened to common sense in the health care industry? The government has bent over so far for the big drug companies and the health care industry in general that I can't even get a got damn pair of contacts.
I lost my glasses in Vegas during all-star weekend () and since then have been wearing the same one-month contacts. I try to order new contacts or glasses but my prescription is expired. Okay, that's understandable.
I go to the eye doctor and he looks at my eyes and says that he can't get an accurate reading on my new prescription because I've worn those contacts too long and my eyes are messed up. He tells me that I have to keep my contacts off for three to four days and then come back in. I tell him that I can't because I'm literally legally blind without my contacts on and I can't just disappear for four days and it's not like I have glasses that I can wear in the meantime. He insists that I keep my contacts off for four days. I tell him to just give me the same prescription I had last time. He says he can't. I leave.
I go to another eye doctor. Same ish.
So I come home and did what any blue blooded American would do -- I get on the internets and order my contacts from Canada. They'll be here in the morning.
But WTF? How can a system be so F'ed with restrictions and rules aimed at keeping these peeps rich that I'm forced to put the health of my eyes in my own hands ... or some Canadians hands or whatever. Whatever happened to common sense?
They need to let all companies make any drug they want and just let the FDA enforce the quality standards (their original purpose). It's the FDA that is screwing everything up--it is a total racket!!!
They also require a current prescription.
What the are you talking about? Your standard cuttapasta answers aren't cutting it here.
I see a bunch of
I admit a timvp, Shoog and TPark discussion outside the Spurs forum does have its entertainment factor.
You could always move to Canada.
Just go to Mexico to get your prescription drugs. It's the same and you can get a whole years worth at a time.
Your standard cuttapasta answers aren't cutting it here.
what the is cuttapasta?
yeah but theres only one road in canada, and youve got the whole people can only talk by moving the tops of their heads.You could always move to Canada
Whatever the argument, cut-and-paste something about Clinton/liberals/communists
How did Clinton cause those Flu Vaccine shortages in 2004 again?
Well, we've established one thing which will have future value.
whottt's been telling us that for years.

Regulated how much the drug companies could charge for the medicine. Company has no reason to produce products when they aren't making a profit.
i think you just went to 2 stupid ass eye doctors. i have a friend that's worn the same contacts for the past 3 years. no BS. she got new contacts that day. this happened about a month ago.
Actually, last I heard it was something like a three months supply. Anything else can get confiscated if you get caught.
And I laughed my ass off when during the debates last Presidential election, Bush said "well we are concerned with the quality of drugs from Canada." WTF!??!! Like Canada is some 3rd world country with absolutely no pharmaceutical standards?
In upper New England, they have actual bus tours that are nothing but seniors going to Canada to buy the prescription drugs they can't afford here or that insurance won't cover. How ing sad is that?
I'm next door now...ya'll need anything?And I laughed my ass off when during the debates last Presidential election, Bush said "well we are concerned with the quality of drugs from Canada." WTF!??!! Like Canada is some 3rd world country with absolutely no pharmaceutical standards?
Clinton had nothing to do with the flu vaccine shortage in 2004.
Neither did the liberals.
I should know, i was working in the ing healthcare industry at the time. But typical TPark bull .

Of course.
Heaven forbid.
tpark,
cuttapasta means your answers are ing re ed in a nice way.

In addition to the medications, try aloe vera juice (2 ounces per day).
Aloe Vera juice tastes like . You think a 14 year old will drink that? I do have him take Papaya enzymes, but alas, it's the Nexium that works.
