The #1 expenditure of Medicare is joint replacement. The Institute of Medicine 7/29/11 reported that the method the FDA uses to clear implanted medical devices is flawed. Patients with failed implanted medical devices are in medical and legal purgatory. Congress must change this by changing the FDA/CDRH charter to require post-market data, Patient/Consumer Representatives as full voting stakeholders and a product warranty. Families USA has it right!
