All right, boys and girls, here is a little ditty that has got to jog your memory:
Im just a bill,
Yes, Im only a bill,
And Im sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, its a long, long journey
To the capital city,
Its a long, long wait
While Im sitting in committee,
But I know Ill be a law someday...
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today Im still just a bill.

There is no doubt that the legal model of OP's will change. It's only a matter of time. We still have an opportunity to market pharmacies that comply with all the new regulations. At leastwe will have someclear legal guidelines....

Guys, we just can't allow the NAPB the luxury of saying who's good or who's bad. That's why it's important to make the IPB a lobby for the industry.


My thoughts after having read the Bills is they are innovator killers. Defining what is valid medicine by standards set hundreds of years ago and in fact more restrictive than that imposed on brick and mortar. Take the definition of a doctor/patient relationship. They imply that a surrogate can't be used. Nurse Practitioners are used everyday in the real world. Would they be included or excluded in this bill? These bills just seem to be more of the NAPB/Lobbying Groups attempts to box us in. It's essential that they hear and see our vision for the future of medicine.


Controlled substances, here's a biggie. It's just a fact guys they have to go, If they are prescribed via a questioner. The longer they are marketed out here, the more momentum these bills are going to gain. If everyone were to be using a legal model, then things like these Bills would go away. Potential administrative and enforcement actions would go away. Patients would still be able to receive their medications after a physical examination. I know I am wasting my breath, but why go for short term profits, when you can build or be a part of lifetime medical practices. It doesn't make sense to me that someone would risk their freedom and money for something that has a shelf life of only a few more weeks or months.

Stop recruiting - less competition when the ship hits the span.

Statement of the American College of Nurse Practitioners Regarding

The Impact on Consumers of Possible Anticompetitive Efforts to Restrict Competition on the Internet: Telemedicine and Pharmaceutical Online Sales

Presented to the Federal Trade Commission
Wednesday October 9, 2002

Harriet Hellman, CPNP, FACNP, Chair, ACNP Pharmaceutical Issues Task Force
Introduction
On behalf of millions of American consumers and their health care providers, we welcome the timely opportunity to offer comments on consumer protection and practice competition in the context of business-to-consumer e-commerce.
We are nurse practitioners, graduate educated and clinically qualified to provide primary health care to consumers of all ages in all settings. Licensed to practice in every state and the District of Columbia, nurse practitioners (NPs) are board-certified in health care specialties ranging from neonatology to geriatrics. In accord with the laws of the states where they practice, NPs care for patients both independently and in collaboration with other health professionals. They write prescriptions in all but one jurisdiction of the United States. In 44 of these 50 jurisdictions, NPs are authorized to register with the DEA, thereby obtaining independent or plenary authority to prescribe controlled substances within the parameters determined by each state.
Approximately 95,000 health professionals in the United States have been educationally prepared as NPs. Historically, NPs provide care to the underserved, the uninsured, and other consumers who experience multiple barriers in access to primary health services. As such, significant numbers of consumers cared for by NPs initially come to them in poor health. NPs traditionally and continuously have advocated not only for these patients in particular but also for all health care consumers, guided by a philosophy of practice based on preventive, educationally focused services delivered within a close patient-practitioner partnership.
One of the signatories to these comments is a board-certified NP in New York State with an independent pediatric practice of more than 5000 registered patients. The practice employs three other NPs and averages close to 10,000 documented office visits a year. Clinicians and staff alike provide bilingual primary health care services that are highly respected and valued by a culturally diverse community. G
