Definitely, then those pharma companies wouldn't have to deal with those silly "regulations". They could just distribute all their experimental drugs among the general population without all those pesky "drug trials".
Not to mention all the farmers that wouldn't have to sell us healthy food anymore.
That would definitely bring down health care costs.
Wow ... you are an idealist aren't you?
Have you been paying attention to how well the FDA has been protecting us? The only thing they have managed to do right is keep e coli outbreaks down. Most of the meds they okay, the really expensive ones, have been killing people, while cheaper and more tested meds which have had very little ill effect in large areas over long periods of time are not allowed because they can't afford the "filing fees" (bribes in reality) the FDA collects ... wake up sometime and see what's really happening.
Soooo....
You find problems with the regulatory agency, and your answer is to do away with the regulatory agency?
Were you going to replace it with another regulatory agency?
Because, as has been made VERY clear to everyone by the recent financial crisis, corporations are sure as hell not going to police themselves.
The financial crisis is because of the middle class spending money they don't have (ie credit cards) and not paying it back, the government "regulatory" groups forced the credit card companies to allow it to happen, not the other way around.
So then tell me, do you just buy what the TV tells you?
