I have to totally agree with these comments--bill will do nothing to prevent another NECC/Franck's/Apothercure

I don't know where we're going, but we're making great time." This train has left the station. The Senate will voice vote their approval of the bill without changes, and with all this "sequester talk" due to Obamacare battles, the President will not expend political capital by vetoing this bill. The "voluntary" provision makes it likely rogue compounders won't register. The lack of enforcement due to state Departments of Health dropping the ball (not doing appropriate inspections; not investigating legally sufficient complaints; not prosecuting cases that are related to split-fee/kickback relationships with prescribers; etc), makes this bill (soon to be law) have no chance of stopping another NECC / Franck's / ApotheCure type tragedy with patients (human and veterinary) being blinded, maimed, and dying en mass. As long as the regulatory agencies (FDA, State Boards of Pharmacy and the investigators/prosecutors in their Bureaus of Enforcement) "use their gums, not their teeth", patients will not be protected. on update from iacp-bill goes back to senate next week
