Joe Pitts: “I am concerned that IPAB's enormous power will grow at the expense of Congress.”

Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.

It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.

This seems to smack of food politics, not public health.

I for one in a portion of my life when I was a boy lived in a household where we didn't have access to health care.
