Previous administrations allowed China to have this leverage over US by allowing American drug manufactures produce the drugs there. Lower labor costs.

Lower labor, lower tax, lower regulatory. Lower everything.

But that can be addressed.

And not just to the benefit of Big Pharma.

These are changes that can help make all of America great again.

But it also is the public who keeps demanding that every drug they happen to need be dirt cheap.

The drugs which are saving lives now took “billions” of dollars and “millions” of man-hours to produce. And that isn’t cheap.

If we want cutting edge drugs which solve real problems and diseases, we will need to pay for it.

Or buy cheap Chinese drugs from rip off artists.

How could they have legally prevented it? Corporations in the U.S. are going to cut costs in every way they can regardless of the risk to the U.S. Outsourcing jobs, manufacturing overseas, they all do it and none of it is illegal. And there's nothing the government can do about it.

When Rx ear drop from China cost $50 with insurance just how much did I "save" because Chinese labor was used instead of New Jersey labor? .000000000001 cents?

Yeah, we are being played and used.

Lower labor costs certainly, but these drugs haven’t been cheaper for sick Americans. Sometimes, in dark moments of despair, and only temporarily, I think the socialists have a point.
Too many greedy American corporations have NOT passed on much, if anything, in savings to customers when they moved their manufacturing operations to cr@phole countries. And the drug manufacturers are the worst of the worst.
