The Future of the FDA

The FDA commissioner is appointed by the president, but this is a quasiorganization that still has subject matter experts that it hires, and has many pathways to approval./nThe FDA is able to arbitrate what can be commercialized, based on a variety of pathways and criteria./nThe FDA is the last group of people that should be making decisions about what is allowed to be marketed, and it is important to create a new organization to do this.
