We Don't Need Those Silly Safeguards
If you were planning to have a pacemaker installed or try a new drug for what ails you, I'd hold off for a while. According to this article in the NY Times, The FDA's enforcement of drug safety laws has steadily declined since...big surprise here...Bush has been president. According to a study by Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman, warning letters to drug companies and medical device makers and seizures of dangerous or defective drugs have both dropped steeply over the last five years. So, I guess Bush can add dismantling safeguards to the fundamental health and safety of individuals to his list of accomplishments. What does he care--he doesn't need a defibrillator.

I work in the medical industry am a Boomer and don't like Bush but you are mistaken aout the FDA. In the past two years they have steadly increased audits and slammed down hard on drugs and medical devices. Perhaps they were lax in the years before but they are tough now.
