I support the federal legislation, but don't assume it is a panacea. Regulatory capture happens all the time at the federal level-- the regulated entities and people are the most likely to have interest in serving on the boards and will do tons of lobbying.
It is completely possible that unless Congress specifically bans Lasix in the statute, the new federal regulators will come to the conclusion, urged by their friends in the industry, that Lasix is essential and we will be back to square 1.
