Democrat Wants To Be Ms.Super Nanny In Nevada

Nevada's Super Nanny

You can always count on politicians to come up with stupid laws. GOP politicians usually will find a way to cut taxes and create tax loopholes. Democrats usually want to tax and become Super Nanny.

Well, in Nevada, we have our own Super Nanny.

From the LVRJ: A bill in the works for the upcoming session of the state Legislature aims to thwart methamphetamine makers by making legal drugs with certain ingredients available by prescription only.
The bill by Sen. Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, will require customers to have a prescription from a doctor to buy cold medicines that contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine.
Medicines with those ingredients are sold only in limited quantities from behind the counter at pharmacies and require buyers to sign a registry because of a law approved during the 2007 legislative session.

Going to a doctor to get some cold medicine? Please tell me this lady is not serious. These medicines already are restricted in how and how much you can purchase. You should not need a doctors prescription for the needed medicine.

Of course, this will hurt the poor the most. While they may need this medicine, they probably will not spend the $50 or more for a doctor's appointment if they don't have health insurance, wait to see the doctor and then go get the prescription filled.

We don't need Super Nanny Sheila Leslie to tell us that we need a doctor's order for an over the counter medicine.

If you don't like this medicine, outlaw it. But don't be a Super Nanny by making someone get a doctor's prescription to get some stupid cold medicine.
