> it should undertake a rational risk/benefit approach. Rather than saying that no drug gets through the filter unless it's safe (as demonstrated through reams of evidence), it should ask, how much risk should we tolerate in exchange for how much benefit? Do you really believe the FDA isn't doing this? The price of these drugs is directly linked with the risk*cost of being sued. In order to reduce the cost of the drugs, we need to reduce the benefits of suing, but this will undoubtably upset libertarians. Can't please everyone.
