The question not being asked is why the dependency on so many drugs, for some granted it’s necessary but for most it’s over and easily prescribed and over used. There is also the question of laws for pricing, etc but I am not going to get into it. A healthier lifestyle will reduce ones requirement for drugs, it can and has been done. Most people just look for a simple solution.
Regardless of how many drugs we need on the market, we'll always need some. Point is lots of industries should be diversifying the location of factories that make parts, items, and assemble products. Lots of industries have centralized production so completely, and cut local inventories, and cut their back up supplies of products, that they are choking now
