Didn’t the Clinton admin. drive out drug companies from the US? There’s only like two left. My understanding was there were 19 major drug companies at the start of the Clinton’s reign and only two are left.

I don’t know how many drug manufacturers there are left in the US but law suits will drive them out.

Anyway....here’s one thing people need to understand, and this is only one example.

Claritin: 10 mg
Consumer Price (100 tablets): $215.17
Cost of general active ingredients: $0.71
Percent markup: 30,306%

Are they all in China, now?

I remember reading somewhere, a couple of years ago, how drug "manufacturing" plants pop up almost overnight in China. How are Chinese drug manufacturers standards held accountable?

You’ve got that right. Hillary was behind it. There was such a shortage of flu shots that year that many people were unable to receive them. We must NEVER FORGET.

I don't know what you consider a drug company, but there are numerous drug companies left in the United States. Merck, Pfizer, J&J, Lilly, Roche, Abbot, and a host of bio techs remain in the US.
