Follow POL on Twitter Carter Wood yesterday mentioned a congressional hearing slanted in favor of those who want to change pre-emption laws governing medical devices. Hans von Spakovsky at Heritage now has a good paper on the subject. Bottom line:
"The chaos and confusion caused by subjecting manufacturers of medical devices to the varying and conflicting rules generated by individual verdicts rendered by nonmedical experts would severely damage America's health system." Good stuff.
