2020 could get real bad, real fast.

Not factually correct. The correct number is 40%.

"around 60% of finished medications sold in the US are made locally"

"Finished" being the operable term. The ingredients are what is at dispute here. No ingredients...no finished product. I should have been more clear. 😉

That makes sense, thanks for pointing that out. The number you posted didn't seem right and I found a contradictory number, not realizing the implications of it.

What's troubling in that article is that it claims moving more production back to the USA will be very difficult. So we're probably stuck at this level for a while.

Regulations are what pushed them away to begin with. If they come back...they will be expensive.

The linked article discusses the removal of regulations in order to coax them back.

That would be great. I hate that our health is in the hands of another country...in the middle of a trade war. Smh

and in the middle of a potential pandemic.....
