I thought President Trump was all about dropping regulations. I thought dropping the Obamacare mandate is for many people about regaining control of their bodies. Why is the FDA doing this? Could it be a favor to pharmaceutical companies? Prices for their poisons would go down now that there will be meaningful competition without insurance companies propping up prices.

Scott Gottlieb rocketed to the top of FDA. He may keep rising

WASHINGTON — When President Trump nominated Scott Gottlieb as the head of the Food and Drug Administration, he was quickly pegged by many as a conservative businessman who was cozy with the pharmaceutical industry.

Seven months later, . He may also be in line to succeed his old boss, Tom Price, as secretary of health and human services.

“I think he’s been a real bright spot in the administration,” said Andy Slavitt, who headed the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service for two years under President Obama and who has been a harsh critic of the Trump administration.

>> I thought President Trump was all about dropping regulations.

That’s been happening apparently at 21-1.

What’s your regulated interest?

Should we allow vehicles without workable brakes to drive on public highways? Or is it a favor to brake makers and the auto industry?

Last time I checked there is no law mandating the use of pharmaceuticals.

I agree with you. It’s un-American to go after shysters.

Now, I’m off to my alchemy class (I teach it), my astrology seminar, and to sell shares in my perpetual motion machine.

Oh, and here’s a bottle of homeopathic water, for only 25 dollars! My chiropractor uses it to cure cancer.
