The FDA model is broken. It is pretty much a Nazi model where private industry is protected from competition and also dictated to by heavy handed government pencil pushers. Good things wont come out of it. The claims like "foreign drugs might be dangerous" is simply dumbing down of reality of world and false. While your average joe wont know if the insulin he got from Tijuana is good or not, denying him the insulin entirely is even bigger threat to Joe's life. Not just that but now you have insulin smugglers who are even bigger threat as they are totally off the legal scrutiny. But American Diabetic Association can do a better job of importing insulin from world over at cheaper prices and distributing it to their members while ensuring reasonable quality. Unlike FDA, ADA can actually work with insurance companies to compensate the victims if things go wrong.
