I'm afraid you're missing some significant points here. This Bill is written in such a way that it gives the power to the Dept. of Health to refer a Physician to the Colorado Medical Board for review based on certain criteria, i.e., # of recommendations written, age of patients written to, etc. This is the financial impact study written for the Bill which clearly indicates funds will be set aside for training (how to spot trends of "abuse") and setting aside funds for Lawyers to go after Doctors who write recommendations.

A Dr. could be looking at a cost of $75,000+ to defend themselves to the Board and risk sanctions that could be devastating to a career, even if the only sanction is that they are no longer allowed to write recommendations, the damage will be done.
The point is, there is a reason so few Dr's do this and now that # will be even fewer. I highly doubt the patients who have received recommendations this year will have any Dr. available to them for renewals, and that may well include truly ill people who rely on this medication.
