Our health care choices are already far too restricted -- ever notice how the word "prescription", which actually means "recommendation" is used as if it means "license"?
If you're going to make asanine points, at least be correct when you make them. Prescription has never simply meant recommendation - especially in the legal sense. Even the obvious roots of the word - pre, "before" and script, "write" refer to the historic necessity of having a written claim to property.

Definitions are easy to come buy. Might help next time.
