Nope. Referring to the direction he should be headed.
Someone needs to tell those retirees how Juan is introducing legislation that will give the govt control over their precious vitamins and other nutritional supplements.
McCain offered the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, S. 3002, in February. Since then, he has withdrawn that support after conferring with Sen. Orrin Hatch about the deleterious effects it will have on the supplement industry. You might know that Utah has many major supplement manufacturers and Hatch has carefully protected their interests.
However, some kind of oversight is needed with some of these suppliments. Some of them are rip offs to the public and I am sure retirees who want to save a little money using supplements, will be happy they are getting their money's worth.
The Arizona Republican will now collaborate with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, on revised legislation that allegedly provides for transparency and safety within the supplement industry but without the intensive regulatory intervention proposed in S. 3002. No time-line is set for introduction of a new bill.
