Oh yes, I've read it. Part of the problem is what it DOESN'T say. It is a big leap forward in the 'control' arena for the FDA. It would be great if there was actually a government agency that would make sure that every bite of food that we put in our mouths is safe. That is the fantasy that this bill is cloaked in and don't be fooled by it. I assure you; the motive is money. Again, the FDA has no incentive to keep you well; they want you to buy drugs. What would happen to the US economy if suddenly everyone was able to heal spontaneously and we never had to purchase another medication again? I don't really believe that our government wants us to find out...
Yes, I read it, too. Not that I am a legal scholar, but I saw a lot of discretion being given to the Secretary. I only point to the recent exemptions issued by HHS with regards to complying with Healthcare provisions and the EPA deciding that CO2 is a pollutant of how this discretionary power gets exercised.
I am very wary and skeptical that the bill is a good thing.
