We need to control our destiny not some other country. The same goes for politicians to remember why they were elected. It is for the people by the people not for personal gain. If it wasn’t for us trying to make a living you wouldn’t have a check.

How about this for a follow-on bill? Require that the packaging of all consumer goods made in China have the words “made in China” in the same size font as the largest words on the package.

I hope we have learned that how we have done business with China in the past has made us vulnerable economically and physically. It is time to control where items that we can’t do without are produced. I purchased some face masks from Amazon and they were made in China. Who ensures the quality and efficacy of those masks? China doesn’t have to invade us physically, they already have attacked us economically and financially and we have let them. Time to stop this and fight back. Made in America for all essential items should be our goal even if we have to subsidize the item. Good place to use the tariff money from imported goods. China is not forcing us to buy their goods. We are doing this to ourselves and it’s time to stop. Fight On!

Congress must address this imbalance via strong legislation to reduce the amount of all products made in China so that less than 50% of anything is made there versus the USA.

The only problem with this and not regulating our own pharmaceutical companies! They charge outragous fees for out drugs, and the ones from china are much cheaper. If we could get the pharmaceutical companies under control, instead of them controlling us with all their contributions to just about every legislator we might actually get away from depending on China for cheaper resources.

For decades we have allowed our great American companies to relocate to countries with substandard quality controls. Time to bring back all of our companies. I am on a limited income but would pay more for American made products. We have become a nation that only services products made elsewhere . God bless America

Don’t advertise to China that’s what we’re doing needs to be a sneak attack. Make sure we’re safe at home and elsewhere first just imagine what this country could be if we need no other country. Make and produce our own goods.

I am not confident in the wording of a bill like that, but I would certainly favor a tax break for any and all products Made in America! Because I do NOT trust anything made in China. They sent dog food that killed hundreds of dogs and sheet rock (gypsum board) that made many families sick. Many China made products are unsafe.

Not just drugs but vitamins too. The chinese took over a vitamin company I was working for and some of the workers were working 7 twelves.
They pretty much run it in the ground and had to merge with or were taken over by GNP. Their goal is to take the market on drugs and vitamins.

We need a world-wide organization to replace the UN as a forum for international tyranny to be presented
and resolved. Covid will forever change the way the US interfaces with the world. The swamp will spend
huge resources to convince us that it was just an accident and that we just need to go back to sleep as we have been for years.

So much for globalism. It is now officially a dead movement. Its advocates need to
find another way to ruin the US. We all need to tune out the common daily sources
of information and find sources which will keep us up to date on the facts of life. The
Globalist’s attempt to destroy the US economy is now as obvious as cancer. Thank
goodness that our president realized the ruin called by globalism many years ago.
The shame is that we US citizens ( not “americans”) did not. Hire US citizens first and then
let everybody else get in line.

What do they produce that we must have ? Nothing.

I am looking for a US flag and flag pole but, will not buy any with “Made in China” label. I will not buy anything, knowingly, that has that label. China needs to pay for the intentional infecting the earth with the virus. Because President Trump had “The Balls” to stand up to China and support the USA, IMHO, China, the Left, the RINOS, the C of C and the Uniparty, at least, want to destroy our economy and President Trump because he has cost them TRILLIONS OF $’S. Yes, I am a full fledged Conspiracy Theorist and proud of it. Prove me wrong.

We cannot allow these vital ingredients that determine our health to come from such an unreliable Country as China. They are not dependable to give us pure ingredients in those drugs.

Michael Malone

2. Require HHS, Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and all other federally qualified health facilities to buy pharmaceutical products that have NO ingredients produced in China.

The verbiage “require” concerns me. Too many times politicians interpret this word as an absolute where the meaning of the word is lost and somehow it becomes “mandatory”. This becomes important when their is no readily available US drug to offset or substitute a particular drug made in China. I’m all for “Made in America”, but we need to tread carefully.

The Government needs to look at more than just drugs. We need to look at the many, many products we get from China. I look at the labels when I shop and believe me it is not easy to find products that say made in the USA!!!!

This nonsense has gone on far too long. Way back in the 1970’s GE was manufacturing standard and microwave ovens in a large facility in Columbia, Md. A terse announcement was made that the plant was closing. The reason was that GE was exporting that commodity to Korea. When GE management was reminded that they were making a good profit
on those items at the Columbia, MD location, they simply said they could make greater profit manufacturing in Korea. Between 2 and 3 thousand folks lost their jobs, plus smaller ancillary service companies went out of business. How can I prove these allegations? I was the person providing much of the raw material (steel) for this operation, and I lost my job and my career in steel sales as a result. Trump is right on target. Americans proved quite succinctly during the 2nd World War that American ingenuity could gear up our manufacturing and inventiveness (new weapons) almost overnight, and we also supplied our Allies. Re-open trade schools; Bring back manufacturing,, plus a little less corporate greed and MUCH more investment in Amrerica.

We need to support our manufacturers in America, eliminate red tape that prohibits companies from coming back into the country, and relieve our small businesses of the debilitating rules and regulations that makes keeping and/or starting businesses in America so difficult. Make America the best, friendliest, and most desirable place to produce products and we will be on the road to recovery.

We need everything Made in the USA ??!!
This pandemic which came from China, would not been as devastating for USA, if they hadn’t of lied. All manufacturing should be brought back for the American people to have jobs, plus things would last longer, cause our folks care. I just had a microwave which was 35 years old and it finally quit working. Do you think microwaves of today would last that long?
Absolutely Not, because they are made in China or with their components. I don’t even like to buy made in China dog treats or toys. I can’t imagine what they must be putting in our drugs made there & who the heck made that decision ought to be horse whipped. All the money we owe China should not be paid, due to amount of lives lost in USA due to COVID-19, which started in China in 2019. I had a client from China who came over several years ago. He wanted to buy souvenirs to take back to his home. I told him, save your money, everything here is Made in China, unless he wanted Goo-Goo Clusters.

I really am ambiguous on this. If Americans can get beyond the idea that pricing of medicines is too high and medical companies can get beyond price gouging, we can get to a reasonable place of acceptance that we can produce and manufacture our own medicines and numerous other items we have depended on others to produce for us. We have to get the Unions and manufacturers to come to an agreement about workers pay and benefits. We have to allow for a reasonable bottom line but also begin to think through the original vision of why we exist. Are we here to thrive at the expense of our fellow man, or are we here to contribute to our fellowman? Somewhere along the road greed took hold of our hearts and we’ve forgotten our true humanity. If greed is our motivation, we don’t belong in business. If we approach each other with a servant heart we can achieve total independence yet have total interdependence. We can meet our bottom line and take home a few extra bucks without destroying our business and thereby ruining our economy.

It’s terrible that it took this virus to wake people up . Both political parties have allowed this to go on for decades. I voted for President Trump because he has been talking about this long before he ever ran. We need to stop propping up the Chinese government by outsourcing our economy!

I agree we should make all drugs here in the United States. But I don’t like the wording in the senate proposal for fear of unintended consequences. Congress should follow Trump’s lead and make the economic environment here attractive to manufactures, that they would rather move here instead of staying in China.

One of the most important government policies for the USA right now. It will impact jobs, mental health, national security and other issues. The USA should be as self-sufficient as possible, as should every nation.

Credible information is extremely important when in business with another party. That isn’t happening with many of our trading partners.

Working in the medical billing for a number of years, I’ve learned that the pharmacies order the cheapest brand because of reimbursement of insurance companies. I believe they are the biggest winners. They pay so little and it’s eventually going to put small independent pharmacies, and eventually small hospital’s out of business. Years ago, generics had to be the same quality as the name brand. Now,they don’t, and that is not good medicine. Who oks less than quality drugs to be sold? I have too many questions, but am ? percent sure, that insurance companies rule us!

Don’t blame China for our problems. Blame the American politicians who, for the past 30 years, have allowed, encouraged, and even push this country into becoming a Chinese Warehouse. Hoppefully Mr Trump will turn
things around. – If all the Nancy Pelosis in Washington let Him .

While I agree with the bill in concept, in thinking about the details of compliance and enforcement of the bill as described here, I see huge and complicated problems in both implementation and interpretation. Delays and insufficient supplies are the likely result, and that’s not good. The goal of having our drugs and other vital products made within the U.S. is not in question; how to achieve that goal without undue and costly burden on manufacturers and supervisory agencies is a more difficult matter.

While the Chi-Coms locked down their city and knew about human-to-human contagion and bought up millions of masks from other countries to supplement their own supply, they attempted to infiltrate thousands of Chinese airline passengers throughout the United States. This was a deliberate biologic attack on the United States with huge collateral damage though out the planet. Among actions against China, they should be removed as a permanent member from the Security Council of the United Nations. This outlaw nation should not be allowed to continue in the role of a sheriff. This would require a great shake-up of the U.N. and the probable drafting of a new charter. Given the global failures of the U.N, it is time for a radical reformation of the U.N. and possible withdrawal of all financial support by the United States pending reformation.

I dont want to depend on ANY other country for anything from drugs to bed linens!!!!
Invest and employ only American. Want a stimulus?
Start building factories for everything Americans use, and while I’m at it stop the pesticideaden fruits and vegetables to our markets. If there is something we can’t grow during certain seasons, then we put off eating it until they are in season here!
If Covid 19 has taught us anything its proof that we can handle doing without some things for a while for the good of our country!!! I haven’t bought anything for consumption for years that doesn’t say PRODUCED IN USA!

We should never let ourselves be vulnerable to any nation that has the potential to destroy our democracy or way of life. Our freedom is what I fought for in Vietnam and I don’t want that thrown away or taken away by some Communist nation that has no regard for its own people let alone we here in the U.S.

1st hand poison from China masquerading as medicine: ALL not some but ALL generic blood pressure medicines containing the main or ‘base’ ingredient in all ‘sartan’ containing medicines were contaminated with a serious carcinogen. Firstly they thought only a few, then discovered ALL were contaminated. After all the FDA fines, and suits, THE CHINESE CONTINUED the illegal manufacture of contaminated BP meds. Even after the FDA said all was OK!
They were re-using a solvent intended for single use! ….. thereby concentrating carcinogenic contaminants! I got cancer from it! You can easily look this up on the internet as TRUE. I will NEVER accept generic again! Especially from China! The Regime (not the people of China) are beyond Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler combined! NEVER EVER ANYTHING -ESPECIALLY MEDICAL ITEMS ORIGINATING FROM CHINA….and beware! They ship to other countries, and they ‘rename the place of origin’ and resell it across the globe!
Note *the original manufacturer Novartis, & is NOT part of the recalls. Their meds are made here. Brand name VALSARTAN IS FINE
BUY MADE IN AMERICA ONLY
