WASHINGTON - Virginians who apply for welfare in the future could have to take a drug test.
Legislation to require drug testing for some welfare applicants faces once last hurdle though, concern over the price tag. The House Health, Welfare and Institutions Committee approved the bill 14-6, which has already passed in the state Senate.
The bill would require drug screening for all recipients, followed by drug testing for anyone suspected of illegal drug use.

ALL welfare and any type of government assistance recipients need to be drug tested. If they do not have a prescriptions for whatever it is they test positive for, then they do not get assistance.
Should apply to Congress as well!
