That's a good question. When she was first appointed, I remember her stating that there would be a lot more regulating coming from the FDA and she was true to her word. Big Pharma plays a huge role in politics and her regulatory policies reflect how badly we need a change in Washington DC. Too many politicians are not watching out for the people. The FDA is an agency that is in dire need of a complete overhaul. It's become so big and so powerful, it's like a huge for profit business. New drug applications bring in billions and billions of dollars for the FDA. Doctors performing medical procedures with a patient's own stem cells do not. How sad is that?
Obama is a big government politician. His appointees reflect that.
