Question:
Brand-name drug makers already pay hefty user fees to help speed their applications through the FDA. That money is expected to provide about a third of the agency's budget this year.

A government agency can become dependent on the companies it's supposed to objectively regulate, which can influence decisions. In a 2006 survey...many FDA employees said they felt pressured to hastily and perhaps improperly approve user-fee drugs. And at least one felt the agency viewed industry, not the American public, as its client. - Jim Guest, Consumer Reports, November 2010
