Stuff Obama Does To Help You Live A Better Life

Under the heading of things you did not realize the Obama Administration was doing for you, last month they proposed rules requiring more disclosure of clinical trial results for new drugs.  Why is this important?

This is a very scary fact about modern medicine: if researchers don’t like the results they get from clinical trials, they can simply hide them — and none of us, the people who take the various drugs and devices under testing, will ever know. . .

Under a new plan, proposed by Health and Human Services last month, researchers who run clinical trials would be made to not only register them on the database within three weeks of signing up the first study participant, but also report a summary of results — no matter the outcome. This will vastly expand the trove of data on the site.

This will save lives at a very low cost.

    Don’t you just hate it when the Kenyan Usurper Socialist makes drug trials just a teeny bit more open, and, perhaps, safer? No wonder the right hates him!
