The idea is to have a fast-track review – as short as one to two months compared to 10 to 12 on the usual timeline – for drugs that address one or more national priorities, such as pandemic preparedness, domestic manufacturing, national security, or serious unmet medical needs.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
