If there's a silver lining to the novel coronavirus, it's that our dependence on China for medication and medical devices has been brought to the fore.
India, which manufactures most of the world's generic drugs, is already taking steps to reduce its reliance on ingredients from China.
Although a medication may be made in a certain country, the active and inactive ingredients for that medication almost always come from China.
So while China may not manufacture the final product, it holds the keys to production.
Rosemary Gibson, author of China Rx, believes we could begin manufacturing medication in the United States in less than a year and that start-ups are poised to do so.
"Six billion dollars of our money in the United States is going to China to pay for generic drugs to grow their industry as ours is collapsing here at home," estimated Gibson.
Please support legislative efforts to break our dependence on China for medication.
