Obama’s response is this...
Where the FDA inspectors used to visit the medical device manufacturers once every 2 to 3 years, he is now sending them out every 2 to 3 MONTHS, and they are not allowed to return home until they find some minor infraction, or imagined infraction, that will cost the device makers tens of millions in fines and expensive re-working of all procedures from top to bottom.
So much effort is being wasted in useless bureaucracy, some of these companies won’t be standing in a few years. The rest will all cry ‘uncle’ and give in, and collect the new tax for Obama.
Check out for example how many companies still make glucose test strips. It’s an FDA epidemic across the board. All medical companies are under attack.
Express Scripts is also auditing private pharmacies at an alarming rate. Ours has been audited 3 times in the last 6 months. They do nothing wrong, just fill the RX’s as the doc orders. BTW they just bought out the scandal plagued Medco for $29 BILLION.
Just as they drove Walgreen’s out of providing RX coverage come January for retired Military over 65.
Express Scripts is gov’t run, and wants to be the only ball game in town.
