“The United States depends on China for 95 percent of the key components necessary to make our generic drugs, and if China shuts the door on exports, within months our health care system would begin to collapse.” Rosemary Gibson is a national authority on health care policy and patient safety, and the author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine.” “How come we don’t know that our medicines are being made in China? And this has been going on for a long time, and for years, there was zero regulation. How do we outsource production from a country with the highest standards in the world to places with no standards?” she asks. In this episode, Rosemary Gibson dives into the realities of China’s control of America’s medical supply chain, the increasing problem of contaminated medications, and what the current administration can do to fix it.
