Economic Burden
 

The agency should scratch the testing program set forth by DR. MARCIA DEGEN as identified in the AOSS Regulations.  We recently were involved with discussions regarding Dr. Degen and Mr. Dwayne Roadcap requiring one manufacturer to produce "additional" testing without any proper justification. Such testing cost nearly sixty thousand dollars (60,000.00) and nearly a two month delay in obtaining product approval. Additional testing only burdens those manufactures trying to bring innovation into the marketplace by delays and being cost prohibitive. (Maybe the cesspool isn't so bad afterall?)

When did public health  outcomes become dependent on political affiliation?


FYI:  This  form of policy breach failed the citizens of  in FLINT, MICHIGAN; is Virginia hoping for a better outcome?
