    One primary factor that supports the government's position that the First Amendment should not be implicated to contest an action under the False Claims Act (FCA) is “truthful off-label promotional speech.” The FDA may not bring an enforcement action against the manufacturer based on truthful promotional speech alone. The FCA does not prohibit off-label promotion of prescription drugs; rather, it is a remedy for actions that cause the submission of a false claim for payment to the Government. As the FCA does not penalize speech, so the First Amendment is not implicated. Also, off-label promotion that is false or misleading is not entitled to First Amendment protection.…

    On the side of the Department of Health and Human Services, one would dispute in defense of the Federal Cosmetic Surgery Protection Act (FCSPA). Their primary focus would be to defend the decision to have cosmetic surgery as an economic activity, since the individual is the one deciding to purchase this medical service and pay the particular amount of money, which articulates a commercial exchange. Since the Court Case of U.S. v. Lopez, the substantial effect test was divided into two categories, the regulation of commercial activities and of non-commercial activities. They have to prove that Congress’s regulating cosmetic surgery will have a substantial affect on interstate commerce, like it had to be done in Heart of Atlanta Motel v. U.S and Wickard v. Filburn. They could explain that individuals getting cosmetic surgery will cause them to stop…

    Trials started only two years before the release, while most drug trials take 8 times longer than that in order to be proven as safe (CCFA, 2016). This is a “Type I error”, which means that the drug was approved as safe to use and was later found to be harmful (Philipson, 2012). Chemie Grünenthal tried to make a deal with an American company, which was rejected, and so eventually made an arrangement with the William S Merrell company in the United States. Chemie Grünenthal should have taken the rejection from the first company as a warning that the drug should not be marketed as safe for even pregnant women. This drug caused many birth defects that resulted in emotional and physical pain and displacement.…
