I'm just hoping that some of the great advances (like the HSA) don't get de-fanged before they really have a chance to take hold and impact the spiraling cost of health care. and hopefully not eight years in respect to health care policy.

I'm very much in agreement with Cannon. The FDA's overly stringent process has probably cost just as many lives as they claim to have saved. Their desire to have zero errors is keeping drugs that patients (who face terminal illness anyway) from getting a much needed drug to extend their lives. Here's hoping that they continue to examine ways that they can speed the drug approval process so drug companies start to see that there is profit in some of the areas that they have shied away from lately.
