For those that didn't read the article linked in the OP before posting.
"Though the United States is a global leader in research, much of the manufacturing of life-saving drugs has moved overseas. The last American manufacturing plant to make a key component in penicillin shuttered in 2004. Since then, Chinese pharmaceuticals companies have moved in and taken over, supplying between 80 percent and 90 percent of U.S. antibiotics, 70 percent of acetaminophen and about 40 percent of heparin, according to Yanzhong Huang, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.

If China makes good on its threat to cut off the United States, Rubio believes the results could be crippling."

Odds are the rest come from India another big supplier of our drugs and vitamins.

Thanks to Clinton and his NAFTA, destroying American industry due to slave labor wages in foreign countries like China and Mexico therefore shuttering our industries and moving it out of country. I love saying this but put it in large capital letters and put blame where blame is due. THANK DEMOCRATS.

This is why our steel mills, lead smelters, advance electronics Technology or computer manufacturing and everything else worth a cent has moved out of country. Democrats and their hate for our country

NAFTA was negotiated by the administrations of U.S. Pres. George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and Mexican Pres. Carlos Salinas de Gortari.

Please give credit where credit is due!

Yes, and the steel industry collapse predates NAFTA by a good many years. What is he even talking about?
