If you were watching CBS evening news on 9/12 you would have seen the report on how China makes our a majority of the medicines we need. When asked how this could be the answer was simple "it's cheaper." Not only it is frightening that this is true and China can cut us off at the throat should they choose to do so but equally troubling is the cost when we make the medicines here. I looked in to Humira some time back and the first injection is $1,600 then the next is $1,100 and $500 per month for the remaining ten months. That's $7,600/yr with no guarantee of it working. I recently saw an add for another medicine for the same affliction (psoriasis) and found it's cost for one year is over $15,000/yr. The possibility of China electing to poison our prescriptions was also mentioned in this news piece.
