The states that do drug testing are California, Florida and Kansas (Drug-Free Workplace Policy Builder N/D). Florida already does drug testing and now wants to do random drug testing as well as Kansas. There is the drug testing before you are employed and start getting paid, there is also the random testing and the reasonable suspicion testing. The suspicion testing is done on the employees that are suspected of consuming drugs. The random testing is done unexpectedly and the normal drug testing is just before the employee gets employed.
The lock-in program would help lower the amount of people abusing prescription medication. The lock-in program would also ease the minds of physicians and pharmacists who are fighting a constant battle of keeping track of patients on controlled medications. Even though Americans will pay taxes on Medicaid regardless, many people would feel more at ease knowing their money wasn’t going toward funding the habits of drug abusers. Any patient that seeks assistance from Medicaid should be entered into the lock-in program to help lower the amount of controlled substance abuse, to ease the minds of doctors and pharmacists, and to ensure American tax dollars are spent more
Describe briefly our society's underlying motivations for the establishment of governmentalregulation and the control of drugs and drug use, differentiating between regulating drug use andtaking a laissez-faire approach. 2a. Some of the underlying motivations for establishing government regulations were that the toxicity of drugs became a concern. The sellers of certain drugs were considered to be endangering the health of the public. There were no regulations that were in place that made the sellers tell how much and what particular ingredients were in the drugs that were being sold.
Mostly because it forces people to have health insurance even when most of us cannot afford it; if president Obama wanted it to help the community I think he should have kept in mind that he shouldn’t require the citizens do things they do not want to do and/or cannot afford to do. The individual mandate states that any person who works and earns a salary will be force to buy new health insurance. That’s where the Supreme Court intervenes and clarifies the law by saying that instead of a mandate, it would be classified as taxes. From which is something that the government can establish and regulate according to the individual’s income. But taxes?
Harrison Kaskel Drug Testing on Welfare September 27, 2011 There’s a heated debate going on in the United States right now. This debate is about whether we should drug test people on welfare or not. In my own opinion there’s really no debate. There are plenty of economical and moral points on why we need to start drug testing in all states. Even though over 90% of people are using that money for the right thing there are others that are not.
Jodie Kaser English Composition II 707 Kathleen Gallgher 04-01-2013 Title?!?! When I first thought up my topic I was all for drug testing welfare recipients. If you can be drug tested to work for your money then there should be no problem being drug tested to receive "free” money as well. However, the more I read into the topic I realize that drug testing welfare recipients is not only a violation of the 4th amendment, but based on stereotypes, expensive, and ineffective compared to other treatments as well. Drug testing innocent welfare recipients violates a person’s rights under the 4th amendment.
They falsely claim situations to be true that are far from that. All this to get a free ride on the American tax dollar. These policies and programs were put in place to help legitimate needs not “laziness”. A few of the programs she could have used was the Medical Assistance Program to get into rehab rather than go to doctors to get some of her drugs.She could have used the educational system to work with her kids rather than let them suffer the same fate as she, a non reader. Instead of using the criminal justice system as a means of temporary support, she could have used them as a resource to
I have to agree with this comment, only because it has been witnessed on a constant basis of fraud within the systems programs. But when Wallace asked “don’t you think, if you cut 700 billion in aid to the states, that some people are going to get hurt?” Romney stated “ by cutting welfare spending dramatically, I don’t think we hurt the poor. In the same way, I think cutting Medicaid spending by having it go to the states, run more efficiently with less fraud; I don’t think will hurt the people that depend on that program for their health care. There are many posters posted up of many participants convicted of welfare fraud; which included medical, food stamps, housing, childcare and aid. The sad part of this, is that the system has its flaws as well.
Why is there countless evidence that the reason there are drugs such as cocaine, LSD, heroin, and speed? "Take a holiday from reality whenever you like, and come back without so much as a headache or a mythology. "(Huxley 54)This quote made me feel that our government puts there drugs here to “condition” us in a way. These aspects of life seem to me like a way for the government to do things like population control and to get rid of lower class, by having drugs readily available for us the consumers. If the government were to advertise drugs I think it would go something similar to "A gramme is better than a damn.” (Huxley
Federal regulation would lead to an even bigger divide being driven in between the lower and upper classes of society. If recipients can afford to buy illegal drugs then they can afford to buy their own groceries. The testing is a necessary mechanism because it ensures tax payers that they are not supporting a drug addiction, while still allowing those in need to receive their proper benefits.
