Every nation does this? When I lived in a universal healthcare system I had to show my healthcare card to get medicine. Prescriptions were transmitted electronically.
None of this is unique to the US.
- Blahah 3y agoHaving to show identity documentation doesn't rely on a payment processor. Prescriptions in the UK (and other places - Germany for example) are electronic by default but can be made out on paper and verified without a computer.
- raffraffraff 3y agoSame in Ireland. My doctor can send it electronically to a pharmacy but I can take my paperwork to any pharmacy to get it filled.
- refurb 3y agoIt's not showing an identity document, it's "our systems aren't up so I can't fill your prescription".
- raffraffraff 3y agoHow many countries allow a single company to monopolise it?
- refurb 3y agoAre you suggesting that single payer systems have multiple, redundant IT systems in place with different vendors?
- lionkor 3y agoIn germany I get a piece of paper and bring it to a pharmacy most of the time... It has worked when my phone was out of charge, when the pharmacy had Internet problems, etc.
