Well, when you put it that way, it makes me feel that it is my anxiety disorder talking when I react to articles like this. On the other hand, I don't think it's unreasonable (despite my anxiety disorder) to be disturbed by the fact that the FDA has basically allowed the generic drug industry to be run totally by the market. I do not have faith that corporations will always err in favor of public safety when their only motive is profit. If that were the case, most drugs would be produced in the United States, at well monitored facilities, where all employees were paid a decent wage.
