Health and Welfare: Should we have radom drug tests for welfare?

Today, Rep. Rich Wills introduced a resolution to ask the Department of Health and Welfare to undertake a study to check into the feasibility of giving random drug tests to those adults receiving state assistance.

The Democrats voted against the issue while the Republicans on the Committee voted for it. Why shouldn't we give drug tests to individuals? How can someone actually be helped to become self-sufficient unless their real problems are addressed?

The bill passed. It is House Concurrent Resolution 55.
