The FDA Bureaucracy Kills

Are we a free country when the government decides what medications we can buy?  Why can't doctors and patients make their own decision based on the the risks involved?  Does the FDA's need police power over the Medical and Pharmaceutical Market?  Why not  restrict it to control over labeling and an advisory function on effectiveness and risk factors.  The label for new drugs could say: "Experimental - Take at own risk, not approved by the FDA".  Why is a dying person not allowed to use any experimental drug they want to try?   The FDA's police Power has gone to its head and according to the Life Extension Foundation, it is often acting like the Gestapo when raiding doctors offices or drug manufacturing facilities under suspicion of using unapproved products or procedures.
