Prescriptions should be abolished (Score 2)

While the Federal government may have justification to move into the area of prescriptions now that segments of the industry are involved in inter-state comerce, I think the real question is should me have a system of Prescription Drugs at all. Are we all truely better off because we have to go to a doctor in order to recieve a drug to treat an ailment. In this age of information where I can research my symptoms through medical web sites and books why can I not also choose to treat myself with the medication I require. Prescriptions are simply a way to force more people to contribute money to the medical establishment. Sure going to a doctor is normally a good thing to require, but I don't feel the state should be in the postion of a nanny. Medical Care should be a option, yes you can, and often should go get the advise of a Doctor before taking a drug, but requiring such a thing resticts my right to choose how exactly I wish to treat my own body.
