I've never had to worry that my reliable ICE auto would spontaneously catch fire and have to park it out overnight.
Maybe you should have worried about it. It's actually pretty common. Ford's were famous for it. Had to recall millions and millions of them.

That's what the pharmacist is supposed to do, at least until they review the customer's prescription history and whether there is a medical waiver (that's not expired) from the physician saying that normal limits can be exceeded. The customer can wait a couple of minutes while the pharmacist does their job. If the review (which shouldn't take more than a minute or two) shows that the algorithm was was wrong they can hand it over. If to many exceptions are being granted then it's the job of the writer of the algorithm to figure out what's going wrong, either the algorithm needs to be adjusted, the pharmacists aren't doing their job correctly, or a combination. It ain't rocket surgery.
Except that's not what's going to happen. The pharmacist will just refuse to fill the prescription if it's flagged. They have no incentive not to just kick out all the flagged ones, and every incentive to do so. I've already seen this when I had a script that was 2 months old. The pharmacist said if it's still a problem you won't have any problem getting the doctor to re-write it. While that's true, I don't really like taking time off work and paying my doctor $100.

The logical result of the program was people who didn't need the money were first in line to get paid.
Glad to see Larry Kudlow's wife was able to get paid before the money ran out.
