Your post incisively describes massive market distortions caused by government meddling, leading to high prices and health dangers … and concludes by promoting the FDA, the most meddling and distortive government agency of them all. Are you unable to imagine that at least *some* self-interested individuals, in consultation with medical professionals and truly free insurance companies, could make informed decisions about their own economic/health/safety tradeoffs? Do you not see the monstrous immorality in using government force to prevent those individuals from doing so? (And, if no such individuals exist, then obviously noone is qualified to work at the FDA in the first place).
