You bettcha there is politics in the medical domain. Why do think it is so hard for the generic drug makers to produce and sell medications in our country, FDA does not care about us but only the big drug makers. Big lobby money out there. This is why I don't care if CO DIAGNOSTICS does not sell in the USA period. There will be plenty of business in the European community and India and other countries out there to eat up all their production including the India manufacturing facility. So often the USA gets to big for their own britches.
