Who: U.S. Food and Drug Administration What: In an effort to avoid releasing aerosols into the environment, the agency has adopted a rule that bans traditional asthma inhalers. The move forces asthma sufferers to use more expensive inhalers that can only be obtained with a prescription.

Why it’s dim: Well, maybe it’s not so dim. It’s not like people whose kids have asthma vote or anything.

Cure: Congress can end this madness.
