Just what we need--more corporate deregulation.  Which we'll get if Romney/Ryan get into the White House.  Read the following article to see where deregulation of the drug compounding industry has taken us.

STEROID COMPANY'S POLITICAL TIES SURFACE AS MENINGITIS OUTBREAK WORSENS

EXCERPT:
The company’s president and co-owner, Greg Coniglario, was also revealed to have hosted a fundraiser for Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), one of 10 senators to sign a letter asking the FDA to loosen regulations on the drug compounding industry.
Coniglario has allegedly contributed thousands of dollars to both Brown’s campaign and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.  (Is anyone really surprised at this news?)
