THAT THEY OWN. USE THAT AS PAR OF THEIR INVENTORY.

SO NOW THEY'RE ABLE TO BILL.

AGAIN. MEDICARE FOR PRESCRIBING

THESE DRUGS TO. SAY, AN ELDERLY

PATIENT IN A NURSING HOME.

THAT PERSON NEVER RECEIVES THOSE

DRUGS EVEN THOUGH THERE'S

A PAPER TRAIL AND A BILLING

TRAIL CREATED SO THEY CAN

CONTINUE BILLING.

THEN WHEN THOSE DRUGS EXPIRE.

THEY'RE GONNA PACKAGE THEM UP.

AND THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THEM TO

OUT OF STATE TO A WHOLESALE

REPACKAGING BUSINESS.

IF YOU AUTOMATE ALL THE

RECORDS IN THE STATE. ALL THE

CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE RECORDS.

AND A PHYSICIAN ACCESSES YOUR

FILE THROUGH THE PDMP. HE CAN

SEE WHATEVER PHYSICIANS YOU'VE

BEEN TO. WHAT QUANTITIES YOU'VE

BEEN PRESCRIBED.

AND IF HE'S CHECKING THE SYSTEM.

AND YOU'VE RECEIVED A CONTROLLED

SUBSTANCE FROM ANOTHER DOCTOR.

HE'S NOT GOING TO PRESCRIBE.

BECAUSE THAT'S A THREAT TO HIS

LICENSE.

THAT WOULD BE A LEGITIMATE

DOCTOR IDENTIFYING DRUG SEEKING

ACTIVITY.

SO OUR BILL. OUR ORIGINAL

BILL LAST YEAR WOULD'VE CHARGED

1/4 CENT PER PRESCRIPTION

DRUG--PILL. I SHOULD SAY--

TO GO INTO A FUND TO COLLEC A FEW MILLION DOLLARS SO THAT WE

COULD DEVELOP THE CAPACITY TO

GET EVERYONE WHO WRITES

PRESCRIPTIONS--175.000 PEOPLE

WHO ARE LEGALLY ABLE TO WRITE

PRESCRIPTIONS IN CALIFORNIA--

TO BE ELECTRONICALLY ON THIS

DATABASE.

SO IN REAL TIME. THE DEPARTMEN OF JUSTICE AND THE DOCTOR

PRESCRIBING THE DRUG CAN SEE

WHO'S PRESCRIBING WHAT DRUGS.

AND ON THE OTHER HAND. THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CAN SEE

THAT IF THERE ARE PHYSICIANS OR

ANYONE WHO'S ALLOWED TO WRITE

PRESCRIPTIONS ARE ABUSING I AND BASICALLY TAKING THE TRUS THE PUBLIC PUTS IN THEM AS

PHYSICIANS AND ABUSING IT BY

MAKING PROFIT MONEY BY SELLING

OPIATES. PAINKILLERS TO PEOPLE.

THEY FOUND A PRESCRIPTION

RECEIPT IN HIS CAR. AND I GUESS

THE CORONER CALLED THE DOCTOR

AND ASKED HIM. "WHAT DID YOU

GIVE THIS BOY?

WHAT DID YOU GIVE THIS BOY?"

THE DOCTOR SAID. "WELL, WHY?"

HE'S LIKE. "BECAUSE HE'S DEAD.

HE'S DEAD.

HE'S 25 YEARS OLD. AND HE'S

DEAD."

THEN HE TOLD HIM WHAT HE

PRESCRIBED TO HIM. AND IT WAS

THE ROXI--NO. OXYCONTIN.

IT'S--THE FORM OF IT WAS THE

KIND THAT DOES NOT--IT DOESN' TIME RELEASE OR SOMETHING LIKE

THAT.

IT'S JUST INSTANTANEOUS PAIN

RELIEF.

SO SYSTEMATICALLY FROM 2001

UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2009.

THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOUGHT FOR

A PDMP IN THE LEGISLATURE.

BILLS WERE INTRODUCED. AND I WAS FOUGHT DOWN EVERY YEAR.

PURDUE PHARMA ALSO STEPPED UP TO

THE PLATE AND MOST RECENTLY.

AS OF A WEEK AGO.

OFFERED $1 MILLION TO SUPPOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN A PDMP

PROGRAM AND TO PAY FOR THE PDMP

PROGRAM FOR THE STATE OF

FLORIDA.

AND THIS IS WHERE POLITICS COMES

INTO PLAY.

THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF
