Pharma is in a way overregulated, too much delay in

Drs, and letting grownups make their own decisions.
That was part of what ACT UP fought for. Drug decisions should be in the hands of the patients, not the bureaucrats. All the long-term suvivors/non-progressors I know are people who took control of their lives and their drug regimens, instead of meekly following the state's prescribed path of death.
But without the convoluted process we have, where would all these lobbyists and bureaucrats and hangers-on find work?
