There is no reliable government organization out there stopping harmful medical treatments. I just want to acknowledge that as fact rather than pretend otherwise and deny people choices.

If you want to evaluate the safety of a prescription, I hope you have the right degree for that. Things can look safe on one paper and not safe on another. Or your condition may warrant a risk of greater side effect with the upside of better efficacy. It's true that doctors and FDA can make mistakes, but they are the best people you have.
Uh oh... Didn't know that your AMA is such a place. Do you have a association that represents all prescribers? Prescribing habits should be looked over by them.
You say this as if it were bad, but the net effect is to save lives (at a cost of money and increased diagnoses of diabetes). Statins are an example of the FDA and the industry actually doing the job they are supposed to do.
