push FDA to end drug shortages, to make needed medications available to doctors and patients by revising pharma rules

This month's Readers Digest cover story outlines how life saving medications for cancer treatment and other critical needs are quite often not available to physicians and hospitals due to manufacturer problems, discontinuing production of needed medicines, possibly to circumvent price controls. Sometimes drug making facilities are closed due to contamination. In far too many cases, critical medicines are made by ONLY ONE company, so any disruption in their process makes critical drugs unavailable, sometimes at the risk of life. Better regulation could make this terrible problem go away.
