    The FDA was supposed to just be regulating this as their job already. I’m not sure why they need a specific law, but I’m just going to assume the answer is Reagan.

      If the FDA, FTC, USDA, EPA, Depts of Transportation, and CDC wanted to guarantee and check their work, we’d have universal healthcare. And in fact I think that’s exactly the legal argument for why the government should be FORCED to provide us healthcare - how else would we be able to catch (and class action sue for) large community-wide health hazards such as:

      -asbestos in baby powder

      -lead and heavy metals in vitamins and supplements

      -consistency of dosing in medications

      -Deaths from auto accidents when we should be having trains

      -Deaths from contaminated eggs, meat, milk from bird flu or other pathogens

      -Products that are blatant lies/false

      -Companies leaking chemicals into water supplies

      -Lead in water supply

      -Heavy metals in water supply& in crops, from exhaust from cars and bits of tires

      -imminent looming climate change

      Gee, I wonder why corporations are scared of us getting healthcare?
