See this is where the Democrats fail... Advocates for consumer safety is a good thing, however the Democrats make these organizations such as the FDA look bad by setting up commissions for things that otherwise have nothing to do with safety.

Since there is no private business set up to regulate saftey when it comes to food, drugs and otherwise it stands to reason there should be an Administration because there is no way to sustain a marketable and profitable business like this by way of competition.

Given the fact people can die from food, drugs and otherwise it's important that an "Administration" like this exist. Still the FDA is overseen by a commission and is very much able to be corrupted and thus why we have many unsafe drugs that make it to the market.

If you are trying to imply that the current healthcare law is GOOD insurance, or that it will cover everyone, you are wrong.

The current healthcare law has more holes than a 10,000 mile squared peice of baby swiss cheese. Not only that, people will still go without insurance.

Just another crack pot idea cooked up by the Dems that is not sustainable. The overhead alone on that new law is what? Almost $10 trillion?

FDA quietly helped states obtain lethal-injection drugs!

The Food and Drug Administration, which has long maintained that it has nothing to do with drugs used in executions, has quietly helped Arizona and California obtain a scarce type of anesthetic so the states could continue putting inmates to death.

Kind of a sick twisted irony, wouldn't you think PowerStroker?

Wonder what else we don't know?

Got to love them commissions!

I guess you didn't read the article.... AS USUAL.

People can die from not having health insurance, or from having crappy health insurance. Do you think there should be an administration to fix that problem?

I was always open to healthcare reform, but I wanted a sustainable and quality product at a fair price.

I have already received notice that my healthcare plan is ending next year, so I have to do something. I sure hope a good fix can be quickly implemented that makes quality healthcare affordable to EVERYONE! And that includes the people who can't afford or obtain it! 

I don't think anyone would disagree and I must admit that what I have been getting was a whole lot better than the nothing they plan on giving me. So there is that...

The FDA? Well, I was really upset when they allowed beef to be processed in China without any notifications to consumers... I think if we can't maintain our own livestock to feed every American then there is a serious-serious problem!

What are you referring to?

You realize I was kidding right, this was satire to show you guys how idiotic your arguments are.

Safe drugs? Like fen fen? How bout Zantac which has been used 40 years or so. Just figured out now it's bad? Want a list? How about shit like this, Buscapone (sp) It's anti anxiety. Wean up, wean off. They decided the parent drug was too expensive to make, and quit. Then they decided the generic made no money so quit that too. People were scrambling to try and find a pill somewhere! 

A lot of people are saying they will not be taking the vaccine. 

I don't even see how it could ever be mandated, although here in Michigan you almost always see people wearing masks - even though I cannot tolerate one myself. It's uncomfortable having to go to the grocery stores and such but facts are facts, I cannot tolerate it. I need a full supply of oxygen and my exhaild air cannot be recurculated at any percentage or I will get dizzy, or even worse yet - start coughing uncontrolably.
