With FDA in place, I would make it a more difficult to approve new drugs, so that there are fewer disasters like we have had recently.

I'd head in the other direction. The FDA already has incentives to not approve drugs (if they approve and people die, they get much worse press, than if they don't approve and people die from not having an important drug available to them).

Or if you keep drug approval the same (or make it harder) than I would remove or reduce many restrictions on the use of unapproved drugs (with the approval becoming more "a seal of approval" rather than a way of making the use of something legal, which would otherwise be forbidden)
