Victor Suarez is a retired U.S. Army colonel who served for 27 years and saw serious problems with America’s medical supply chains. He clearly explains how our medical supply chains became so compromised and outlines steps America can take to secure its vital medicines. Anyone with concerns about America’s medical supplies — including essential drugs and medications with life or death consequences — should listen.

Key quote:

You can literally make all the components of all these drugs in China, you can ship them in a barrel to some plant in New Jersey, mix it, compound it, package and label it, and say ‘made in the USA,’ and then sell it to the Department of Defense.

Now, that’s the number one thing I would ask a Congress and the president—to fix that loophole through legislation immediately. They can fix that in the NDAA a week from now, if they were really serious about it.
