Is the FDA really looking out for the American Consumer?

The FDA contends it is looking out for consumer safety,
but in fact a growing volume of prescription drugs sold in the US are made
overseas and brought in by domestic manufacturers. What's really being
protected, critics say, is the pharmaceutical industry. It has a powerful
partner in the FDA, which over the past year has conducted widely publicized
seizures of prescription drugs shipped into the US from Canada, Mexico
and elsewhere that it maintains could be harmful to consumers. The most
recent disclosure came last week, when the FDA revealed a blitz inspection
of medicine being imported from Canada that turned up five packages of
an asthma medication, Serevent, that had been recalled in Canada because
of a manufacturing defect.
While there is no doubt that counterfeit and adulterated medicines?some
potentially injurious, possibly even lethal?are sold over the Internet
by unscrupulous vendors, a TIME investigation suggests the FDA's actions
against Canadian imports have been part of a concerted campaign to simultaneously
discredit its counterpart agency in Canada, provoke fear among American
consumers who buy their drugs there, blunt an exploding political movement
among local and state governments to begin wholesale drug buys in Canada
and ultimately preserve the inflated prices charged US consumers and taxpayers."
