BREAKING BILL UPDATE: TOMORROW MORNING, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, I will be presenting SB711 which is the broader off-label prescription bill Senator Steve Newman referenced this past Thursday in Senate Health and Education when SB73 was heard . The bills are similar but SB711 is a broader bill that allows doctors to prescribe ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and other off-label prescriptions.
We will have numerous doctors and healthcare provider experts providing testimony. We invite those of you with compelling stories to share to attend as well. We need to allow doctors be doctors and take the politics out of medicine.
This SB711 will be presented to the Senate Health Professions SubCommittee: Barker(Chair), Saslaw, Newman, Edwards, Lewis, Dunnavant, Suetterlein, Pillion

Allows Doctor’s to prescribe!!!!! What the actual F ! Allow!? Doctors should be able to prescribe according to the patients needs. Period. They have gone to school for many years and want to HELP people. Obamacare is the problem. This is when it changed from Doctors making decisions for each individual patient to Doctors REQUIRED to do what they are told. Let the Doctors help their patients without interference!!!
Write or call the offices of the committee members listed in third paragraph before 8:30 am EST tomorrow. That will do a lot more than preaching to us choir members here.
I have a problem with this too. The danger in crafting legislation this specific to a certain drug is it sets up narrative that unless specifically allowed doctors are limited in what they can prescribe. It's like saying we are going to allow licensed drivers to drive Dodge automobiles.
