FDA is Doing a 180

In October, 1981, our FDA published its *DESI Less-Than-Effective Drug List. Effective the end of that month, the government would stop reimbursement for those drugs under Medicaid and Medicare Part B. The hundreds of drugs on that special list eventually left the market. Now, the same FDA - a little older and wiser (yeah, right) is now approving combination drugs again. Is this a case of dumb OR dumber?
