Death panels ...

... rear their ugly heads ...... again:

With the new ObamaCare regime in place, the issue of cost has now become openly part of the FDA process. This is a perversion of their mission, which is supposed to only involve product safety and effectiveness, not bean-counting. If Medicare doesn’t want to cover Avastin, that should be a separate issue handled by CMS and HHS.

Because the FDA is thinking about decertifying Avastin, so that the government won't be put into the sticky situation of refusing to pay for it.

As a commenter at HotAir mentions, this decision will be made by a panel, and they'll decide that it's ok for some people to die.

Seems like someone told us this would happen.
