 I have no doubt that this proposed legislation will in the whole be negative in its affect on consumers.  If you really want to do something then DEREGULATE and not REGULATE.  There is a difference between licensure and certification.  Certification is a market-based mechanism that allows the the market to decide the worth of the certification.

Licensure (prescription scheduling) is just a perversion of the market process that leads to corruption of the political process and the government arbitrarily picking winners and losers.

Basically I would scrap the FDA and start over from scratch.  In toto we would be better off
