Being critical of those paying the bills (the pharmaceutical companies) could have had something to do with it, as well.
May I ask how these same people get prescription drugs without a valid ID? Or is that something that should be handed out with the honor system as well?
They will tell you ID isn't required to get those. Although any time I get one filled at Publix that's the first thing they ask for.
They use their insurance cards, I think.
Usually Medicare or Medicaid.
They don't need an updated driver's license or state ID for that.

Depends on what you are getting. They want more information if it's a controlled drug,
Can't speak for other states, but here in Florida (A.K.A. "God's Waiting Room"), the pharmacist is required by law to ask for photo ID if he/she/other is not familiar with the customer:

HRx: Florida Imposes New ID Requirements for Pharmacist Dispensing of Controlled Substances
The Florida legislature passed HB 21, which imposes a number of new requirements on prescribers and pharmacists regarding controlled substance prescribing and dispensing. Part of the law requires pharmacists to verify the identity of the person named on the prescription. These requirements do...

Even to get non controlled substances that insurance pays for I have to show ID which is how it should be. How do they match the insurance, individual and prescription without it. Its really a no brainer same with voter ID.
I get that part. They are still required to check ID to confirm its the right person. How do you know otherwise? It could be the wrong person getting the meds.
You can get many if not most prescriptions vis mail order though CVS Caremark and other vendors. No id required. Picked up a nebulizer and inhaler for my kid and an antibiotic yesterday. No id. They asked me my address and phone number. My credit card was on file. They just handed me the bag.
Security questions include address and phone number on file.
Its still a check of some sort. One would think people would be universally for ID requirements for prescriptions, benefits, voting and certain purchases like guns and other dangerous items. I saw a guy in front of me get mad because the clerk asked for his ID to use a credit card. I told him he should thank her and not be a richard about it.
I do. And you should too. The system is broken otherwise.
Depends on the medication. When I was prescribed painkillers, my gf had to show my ID to pick them up for me.
As well as.....
In 1975, the Rockefeller Commission's inquiry examined investigations by the CIA's Office of Security that included electronic surveillance and found two cases in which the telephones of three newsman were tapped in order to determine their sources of leaked classified information. The Commission wrote: "The CIA's investigations of newsmen to determine their sources of classified information stemmed from pressures from the White House and were partly a result of the FBI's unwillingness to undertake such investigations. The FBI refused to proceed without an advance opinion that the Justice Department would prosecute if a case were developed." They concluded: "The CIA has no authority to investigate newsmen simply because they have published leaked classified information."[14][15][16]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mockingbird#cite_note-19
"Project Mockingbird, a telephone intercept activity, was conducted between 12 March 1963 and 15 June 1963, and targeted two Washington based newsmen who, at the time, had been publishing news articles based on, and frequently quoting, classified materials of this Agency and others, including Top Secret and Special Intelligence.[11]"
Anyone know the difference between 1960 & 1963? One leader goes down in history as the devil and the other the great white knight. High officials and government heads being assassinated. Competing commissions fighting against each other and accusations of malfeasance, war, civil unrest, Bay of Pigs ect ect.
Yet we are told, "never has the country been more divided". And what fools we all are to believe them.

Unwanted by some because it allows for potential fraud, jmo.
I am all for ID in those situations. Just explaining the prescription aspect from by experience both personal and professional. And I will add that while I think ID should be required, it should also be free to obtain. Much like a SSN.
wrong! DL must be shownThey use their insurance cards, I think.
Usually Medicare or Medicaid.
They don't need an updated driver's license or state ID for that.

I've picked up prescriptions for other people with their credit card 20 times probably without ID.
(A mentally handicapped gentleman I know. I was never asked for ID and I told the pharmacy I was picking up for someone else.)

The only time I've ever been required to show ID at the pharmacy is when I'm picking up a controlled med like an opioid pain killer. Never for anything else.
At Walgreens I always have to supply DL and give DOB and zip code. No opiods in my medications. Obviously, some pharmacies are more diligent than others.
I don't know that it's a matter of diligence. Walgreens may have an internal policy above what is required by law. That's their choice.
We use Walgreens monthly. Have for years. Not been asked for an ID anytime I can recall at different locations in at least 4 different states.
Good for you! Seriously. I didn't take anything regularly until my heart issues were discovered.
