FDA Reform

In a December 2021, the Center for Medical Economics and Innovation observed, "The FDA, a huge and critically important but dysfunctional organization, now needs a bold, clear-thinking reformer...

"Government regulation offers some reassurance to the public, to be sure, but when it is wrongheaded or merely fails to be cost-effective, it actually costs lives: directly by withholding life-saving and life-enhancing products and indirectly by diverting societal resources to gratuitous regulatory compliance.

"The stakes are high. The FDA’s purview is wide, regulating pharmaceuticals, medical devices, food, and tobacco products that account for about 20 cents of every consumer dollar. The FDA has pushed the average cost (including out-of-pocket expenses and opportunity costs) to bring a new drug to market to over $2.5 billion . That ensures that many new drugs will have a hefty price tag and that others won’t get developed at all."
