They need to go after doctors too. They know how many prescriptions they have written fo any given patient. It is easier to write a Rx. then deal with the cause. Also the question is, when the owners of Bog Pharma, who knowingly manufactured the oxycodone and OxyContin were fined, and allowed to file bankruptcy, why weren’t they made to turn over ALL proceeds from the drugs, not just pay a paltry fine? They also should have been banned from any further pharmaceutical endeavor, along with any member of their family. Those funds from the fines should have been paid out to families affected by the deaths of loved one or those individuals still living and addicted. Instead I suspect the fine is paid and funneled right back to them. No one in government ever has to show proof of where these funds go. It is not easy to steal prescription pads these days. Most prescriptions are electronic, and when there were prescription pads, most doctors carried them in their pockets. Also a number is required from the doctor writing a prescription. In the day and age of computers, it is very easy to link the prescriptions of doctors to any given person or multiple persons, require a driver’s license for that person.
