“How about allowing immediate access pending FDA full approval to all drugs approved in Britain, Germany, France and Japan?”

Besides saving money re lower costs and more competitive new drugs, we could save a ton of money by eliminating FDA’s costly repetitive over studies that create jobs for left wing MDS in lef wing medical schools.

As soon as you can prove through actual fact and experience that a freer market and more competition lowers prices Democrats cannot win.

Keep in mind that some 50% or more of medical costs are driven at the state and local level via permitting, licensing and zoning laws. Hospitals are granted geographic monopolies. Doctors already licensed cannot open a practice without permission from a zoning department or board. It’s nuts. A doctor in one state cannot simply cross the boarder and practice in another state. A doctor from Britain or Canada or Germany, a top practitioner in his field cannot work in the US. It’s nuts.
