Feds force doctors & pharmacists to spy on 60% of Americans (UPDATED)
In nearly every state, doctors and pharmacists are being forced to spy on drug prescription users. The name of the national prescription drug spying program is called 'PMP InterConnect'.
"PMP InterConnect facilitates the transfer of prescription monitoring program (PMP) data across state lines. It allows participating state PMPs across the United States to be linked, providing a more effective means of combating drug diversion and drug abuse nationwide."
"PMP InterConnect is a way to link participating state PMPs. If practitioners, pharmacists, or other PMP users wish to obtain multistate PMP data, they should contact their home-state PMP directly, as access is granted through the specific state PMP."
Whatever happened to HIPPA? Allowing the government to keep prescription records violates patient privacy rights.
Feds use PMP InterConnect to collect personal patient info.
According to a Drug Enforcement Agency report, big brother is collecting patients names, DOB, addresses, phone numbers, demographics, prescriber and pharmacy names, as well as prescription information (drug names, quantities and day supply).
Updated 1/31:
Apparently Missouri, doesn't have a Prescription Drug Monitoring yet, but House Bill HB90 will change that.
"Known as the Narcotics Control Act, it would require collection of information about patients’ prescriptions including quantity, dosage and whether a prescription is new or a refill. The bill would also require collection of a patient’s name, address, date of birth and “identification number,” which could include but not be limited to a driver’s license number, or government or insurance ID number."
The Bill would fine doctors and pharmacists for not reporting everyone's prescriptions.
"The bill, which has received its second reading in the House, would also fine dispensers $1,000 for failing to notify HSS that a prescription has been filled, or for providing incorrect information."
Feds are close to creating a national prescription spying program
A Foundation Care whitepaper claims, that as of 2016 a total of 48 states have enacted legislation for prescription drug monitoring programs. The PDMP Training and Technical Assistance Center claims, every state except the District of Columbia has created a prescription drug monitoring program.
According to sources, 60% of Americans or 119 million people take prescription drugs. Which means they're spying on 60% of Americans. Big brother is one state away from creating a NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM.
Feds create 'early warning prescription surveillance tool'
(Click here to view the PBSS slide show)
The Prescription Behavior Surveillance System (PBSS) is an early warning surveillance and evaluation tool.
"The Oversight Committee has developed 43 prescription behavior measures for a standardized, periodic report based on elements of the multi-state database... Each participating PDMP provides an initial set of legacy data, with subsequent quarterly updates, enabling an ongoing surveillance of prescription activity trends."

Feds pay states millions to spy on prescription drug users

The Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance, which provide three types of grants to states. Every year, since 2003 the Bureau of Justice Assistance has been paying police and state agencies over $7 million to create a national drug monitoring program. (To learn more about DOJ drug grants, click here, here & here.)
The Feds CDC plans on giving states an additional $750,000- $1 million to monitor everyone's drug prescriptions. The CDC also wants universal registration and use.
Federal partners, police, etc., are invited to use the PDMP Training and Technical Assistance Center to help them spy on prescription drug users.
Feds use NAMSDL to create national drug prescription surveillance program
The National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws (NAMSDL) drafts drug prescription and alcohol laws. The NAMSDL boasts about creating 44 model drug laws and policies and says "tough sanctions punish those persons who refuse to abide by the law."
A Google search for NAMSDL and Homeland Security returned 987,000 hits. Think about that for a minute, that's nearly a million hits. It sure seems like DHS is behind another national surveillance program doesn't it?
Let's not forget the other alphabet soup agencies, a Google search for NAMSDL and the DEA returned close to 250,000 hits. And a Google search for NAMSDL and the CDC returned 213,000 hits. All together that's something like 1.4 million hits between DHS the DEA and CDC, it sure looks like a federal run surveillance program to me.
Pretty soon, big brother will run out of ways to spy on Americans.
