Trump's tariffs could raise the cost of generic drugs in the U.S.

[Rambunctious]

“The idea is that making foreign products more expensive would encourage U.S. companies to source more and consumers to buy more products at home.

But experts say there’s one major flaw with that plan: Very few generic drugs are actually made in the U.S.

Over the last several decades, generic drug manufacturing has increasingly moved overseas as production in the U.S. has become less profitable.

Dr. Aaron Kesselheim, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said that about half of all generic drugs are manufactured overseas and that about 80% of all active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, are produced abroad, in China, India and other places.

Generic drugs are the backbone of medicines prescribed in the U.S.: They account for about 90% of all prescriptions filled, according to the Association for Accessible Medicines, a trade group that represents generic drugmakers.”

And that major flaw applies to far more than just generic drugs, it applies to most other consumer goods.

Indeed, US companies aren’t going to start producing goods in the United States because the cost of labor is too great; jobs won’t be ‘coming back’ to America the result of tariffs – goods will continue to be manufactured overseas with Americans forced to pay higher costs.

Further proof of Trump’s incompetence and stupidity and that Trump is unfit to be president.

Not true at all... we need to make our medication in this country.... not trust China to do it for us.... so making it more expensive for China to make and sell us our meds will bring it home where we need it to be for national security purposes...

 

[Crepitus]

Still your (MAGA) President..

And just as stupid as the rest of you.

Even if you were correct (you're not) it would take years to rebuild the infrastructure and set up supply lines and such, not to mention finding and hiring qualified people.

Boom, inflation.

 

[boevans]

The drugs from Canada, Mexico, and China will go up, yes.

Well that sucks, but do you know what also else hurts the economy? It also sucks that about 100K Americans have been dying from Fentanyl overdose each year.. never mind all the OTHER imported drugs as well. That would push the number higher and so we're just talking Fentanyl. The largest age group hit is 18 - 25 year olds... you think that eventually wont effect YOUR bottom line? of course, they are being replaced by illegal immigrants, many of whome are from asia and the Middle East, let alone South America... You know who is unfit to be president? Either one of the previous buffoons who inhabited, and still inhabit the WHite House for another month. Both of those winners failed to acknowledge , that for China to be knowingly doing this to us, they have engaged in a real type of warfare with us. That team did nothing, said nothing... just allowed this to go on and on without any repercussions. At least Trump is doing something which will become a starting point of recognition and negotiations.

[frigidweirdo]

Monkeys COULD fly out of your butt, however that is not likely. Trump doesn't take office until January doofus.

When you don't have an argument, INSULT, it'll make you feel like you won the argument.

Good, then they will move back to the USA and bring jobs with them.

Another great benefit to trumps plan

Your seriously ignorant

Can you spot your ignorance?
When insulting others intelligence, it pays to proof read and edit.

Tell it to otto.
In fact, tell it to your entire party.
That tactic lost you an election.

 

[petro]

Any tariffs will hurt the producing country far worse.
They will capitulate, or they will lose a major chunk of their economic prosperity.
Those countries rely on Americans purchasing power.
China would go bankrupt if Americans quit buying their cheap plastic shit.
