  3. Medicine that kills

    That a batch of tainted vials from a single company could put thousands of people across the country at risk for a deadly form of meningitis is a sign the system for regulating pharmacies that mix drug compounds and ship them nationwide needs to be overhauled.

So far, 304 people in 17 states have become ill — including 13 in Maryland — and 24 have died, with those numbers expected to rise. The risks to public health exposed by the outbreak clearly demand prompt action by Congress to strengthen the Food and Drug Administration's power to protect Americans from tainted medicines.
