I appreciate that. That is a problem we are going to have to fix in our committee. I want to call up the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Johnson), eastern Ohio. Speaking of being able to jump across State lines and have prescriptions filled…
Now, what if they wanted to pick up an opioid prescription? Do they have to show an ID? Are they required by law to have the same kind of restrictions?
But as the gentleman knows, that is data within the State, but across State lines, that data is still not populated.
