Why does it matter where the pills you pour into bottles are made? Quality is the important thing, not location. Pill mfg is not a high margin business, which is why much of it (though not all!) moved abroad.
I think there’s a sound argument for diversification of production locations as a hedge against supply chain disruption caused by natural disasters, local political/economic instability, armed conflict, etc. I’d rather that be incentivized through tax policy but that’s a different conversation.

Right, but we already have diversification of production, right? Drugs are made everywhere.

Because of situations like Covid. China turned off all supply of masks and equipment they made to keep it for them wives. That’s not a way to have a supply chain.
