It is fine that you want to help those who have limited funds. Consider the problems caused by bulk medication distibution. Who will pay for the repacking prior to sending to pharmacy. All bulk medications are in highier doses per unit;quartering tablets,measuring small amounts of concentrate,is difficult for handy-capped older people even impossible.

Be assured this act will increase medication administration cost without any promise of savings.

I think this ballot should be passed. I want everyone to be healthy! Thank You

Without a clear meaning of resident in this measure I'm not giving an uninformed "yes". Does Oregon resident as written in the measure require proof of legal residency or will we simply hand out these cards with the same blind eye that we issue drivers licenses?

Why is this measure even on the ballot? It should have been passed easily by the Oregon Legislature, instead of troubling the voters with it. It costs the state nothing. Who could be opposed to it??? Apparently no one was willing to cough up $500 to oppose it as there are no arguments aginst it in the voter's guide...

The reason this is on the ballot is that our Legislature is beholden to the drug lobby and don't have the sack to do it themselves. Why shouldn't we be able to buy drugs in bulk? I shop at Costco and buy in bulk myself! Vote YES on this, as it's a no-brainer.

This seems like a no-brainer.

Pharmacies get to decide if they want to participate, or not. If they do, Oregon citizens save money. The cost seems negligible. It's a voluntary financial arrangement between the state and pharmacies. Tax dollars aren't used to supplement the low-cost drugs, so why would anyone stand against this? Oh, that's right, no one did.

Common sense measure that expands the buying power of the growing number of uninsured. What's sad is that this measure couldn't get passed the Republican-controlled legislature that has been heavily paid-off by the pharma industry.
