We don’t often think or take the time to review the details of what Federal Agencies do for us. One that does a lot is the Food and Drug Administration.
I receive daily email notices from them. It pays to be in the know. 🙂
They’ve even made it easier for food suppliers to track food safety. Part I
The concern about Drug Shortages or Disruption in Supply can affect patients. The most significant event where patients died and which were also affected by politics, occurred with compound drugs.
People can make their voices heard with the FDA, which is often times better than trying to get the attention of politicians at the FDA Patient Network.
There is a lot more but keep in mind that food and drug safety is an A+ program and they need to have an A+ budget to do their job.
