Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, Opioid Database
The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015 (S.524) is analyzed for its potential to create a federal database of patients using Schedule 2, 3, and 4 drugs. The bill requires doctors to register with state monitoring programs for medications like Adderall and Ritalin. The hosts warn that this data collection exists outside of HIPAA protections and could be used to restrict gun rights.
