Well if the companies are committing crimes or at least being professionally
negligent and putting profits in front of the health risks they SHOULD be put
out of business.

I'll fly off the handle whenever I please. It's my right, for now at least...
However, GNN is a pretty liberal website and I do say they do a fair amount of
FUD and fear mongering themselves. However, I don't rely on their point of view,
but more on the facts that are presented. Are you saying that their article was
factually incorrect?

That is exactly the reason why Libertarians want to get rid of the FDA. Quote
from www.lp.org

"Replace the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration is clearly an unnecessary
burden on the American health care system. There is no evidence that agency
offers Americans any real protection, but there is massive evidence that it is
causing great harm -- driving up health care costs and depriving millions of
Americans of the medical care they need. The agency should be abolished and
replaced with voluntary certification by a private-sector organization, similar
to the way Underwriters Laboratories certifies electrical appliances."

...and they CAN be sued!

It seems to work in Canada... Not that I'm a socialist, but common. Someone has
to take control of the extortion rates people pay for health insurance, medical
visits, and pharmaceuticals. Maybe there is some kind of medium, a compromise if
you will. Commercial Socialism, hmmm...
