FDA may fail

FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach said the agency may fail to protect the health of Americans as funding has not kept pace with responsibilities. He said the FDA's regulatory role has expanded and its workforce has been overextended. He said that in order that the FDA remains the "the world's gold standard as a regulatory agency" it needs to be "stronger, bigger and better".
