That just pushes the moral hazard down to the providers and patients.

Given how big the industry is that peddles mostly bullshit vitamins and supplements, I think society is best served by a conservative FDA.

Classes 0-2 could be experimental, non-commercial approvals that can be used as stepping stones to get long term data but not sold for profit.

>not sold for profit.

The only way to ensure no profit would be to provide them for free. Which, granted, may be good still for the pharmaceutical companies to lessen the costs for approvals, but Hollywood accounting makes it impossible to have any price depend on profits, because profits are more an accounting fantasy than a fact.
