Guest its remarkable the United States of america we have aon shortage of really important idicines. This has been going on for 20 years and we have had hundreds and hundreds. One of the medicines that is in shortage right now is a really important blood center that hospitals use every single day. There was an article in a local newspaper about a boston physician saying i dont know if we can do cardiac surgery two weeks from now if we dont have this product. We are walking on a very thin line. We have had shortages of chemotherapy to treat cancer in children and adults. We have had shortages in right now theres a shortage of her really important antibiotic for lifethreatening infections. These are lifeanddeath medicines. Sometimes we can get them and we are rationing medicine in the United States of america. Its really quite remarkable. Host is this hyperbole or isar this a real existing probl . We hear a lot of talk from a lot of Different Industries saying the sky is falling here. Is this a real problem where peoples lives are inn danger because these drugs are not available . Guest this is the real deal. I dont take any money from industry could i have no conflict of interest. I waso talking with a physician who is working on trying to get medicines forki children with re diseases. These are the new innovative drugs that are needed. These are the mainstay medicines many many children are dying from Rare Diseases because we dontt have basic medicine. Host how did we get here . Guest thats a long story and we will get to that pay 12 years ago there were hundreds of americans who died. Some were on dialysis and others were in the hospital because there was a shortage at the blood center called heparin. That happened because there was shortage and we were getting it. Rom china they didnt want to spend the money so they put in a fake substitute for the real ingredient in a turned out to be lethal. Shortages are real. Le people are dying and people suffer. You cant get the right antibiotic and doctors have to come up with a substitute you get a secondbest antibiotic that can cause a whole lot of problem for people. This is real. We just dont count the number of people that are harmed because its so hard to do that. This is a very serious problem that affects all of us. Its not democrat is not republican and doesnt discriminate in anys way. Host how did we get here . Guest we got here because we had stopped making in the United States of america many of the medicines that are viable. I will give you an example. Many of your viewers have probably taken an antibiotic or thatat state penicillin. Nice to have penicillin plants all over this country. We used to have other antibiotic plants all over the country. Now we have virtually nothing. If we cantbi make the medicine and we are relying on other countries what happened was this is how we lost penicillin. In the early 2000 china dumped penicillin products on the u. S. T d Global Market and they made it at a really cheap price. What happened was u. S. Producers couldnt compete. That drove out all the u. S. Producers and producers around the world. Then they raise the price. If we cant make something and if we are dependent on another country that is supplying the whole world its like oil. Can you imagine if we end the world depended on china for 80 of our oil . What would that look like . That would be a problem. You have a problem with supply and so thats how we got into the situation. The chemotherapy drug to know why that was in shortage and had to be rushing . The food and Drug Administration the fda wanted to the plants and found very serious problems. There were medicines that didnt have full potency. They didnt have the real active ingredient and it was devastating if you are a cancer patient for some of those medicines had particles and other things in them so they had to ban all those products coming from that plant. Because the fda was so concerned about a shortage they later said we will allow some of the men. This is the situation we are in the 21st century in american medicine. Its really quite disturbing. Host if you brought up the fda and i want to read this quote from your book in a way to tell me that the quote did you say in china rx is no ones job in the federal government to know who controls our drug supply. Are you literally saying there is no one responsible for the drug supply of the United States of america . Guest at theres someone who is responsible it we wouldnt have shortages. The fda does a good job of this. They track what is since her in shortage and they have a web site where you can go on and see what products are in shortage right now. Doctors and pharmacists have to scramble and ration and people can be adversely affected. Thats our system now. We dont have anyone whos in charge of assuring that we have full supply of asem whenever we needed to every person every day in this country. Thats what needs too change and really its a manufacturing issue. If we cant make things any more if our plans have shut down, i went on and looked at all the drugs in shortage on the fda list and it turns out the u. S. And western manufactures are stopping a production of generic drugs. Says a right they are discontinuing production and why is back . They cant compete with lowercost china which is ramping up its production of generic drugs. Right now about 9 of our generic drugs are coming from china. Thatro happened in just 10 year. They are wrapping up quickly. Where are we going to be 10 years from now, 15 years quick they are going to be 25, 30 and eventually up to 80 of the suppliers of our generic drugs. Think of what can happen with that. You brought upth generic drus we are talking about herbs used in surgery. We are talking about everyday overthecounter and Prescription Drugs that are given to americans by their doctors. We are just talking about drugs used for surgery. We are talking about guest lets take Blood Pressuresu medicine. A lot of viewers probably got a lot of calls about their Blood Pressure medicine that got recalled. There was a hearing in washington in thehe summer on te Economic Security and review committee. One of the commissioners as a commissioner he took a few minutes during the hearing to talk about his experience with his Blood Pressure medicine. He said i have three recalled Blood Pressure medicines. The ingredient came from china and it had rocket fuel in it. If im getting medicines like this than active duty military must be getting it. Millions of americans were affected byri this. Thats not something you get in the hospital coming off of the Blood Pressure medicine that you go to the drug store pick up their Blood Pressure medicine. Youll have to call your doctor hand give different prescriptin and this is created havoc for doctors. They dont know what to prescribe any more with so many recalls. They are been a shortages and prices havee gone up. Its really very difficult for many americans. Host lets let our viewers during the conversation. Well open up regional light again that means you are in the eastern or central timezone we want to hear from you at 202 7488000 and if youre in the mountain and pacific timezones your line is 202 7488001. We are going to open up a special line this morning. We want to hear from medical professionals. Are you seeing the shortage in your hospital, in your Doctors Office . It want to hear from you. Is this something you are seeing , medical professionals invited to call in at 202 7488002 and remember you can text us at 202 7488003 and social media on twitter at cspan wj and facebook at facebook. Com cspan. Lets take our first caller. Lets go to wayne calling from hanover pennsylvania. Wayne, did warning. Caller how are you doing there . Rosemary directly to you, the greed, the greed thats involved with all these companies. You cant get anything but generics now. Im diabetic and im taking all kinds of stuff all of my life maam and let you say this. You are right. You dont know where it comes from but yetco they had an idea. Im notot going to mention name. We get stuff from canada. Thats no good. Whats the difference . Its all about the greed and thats why i cant afford to get lipitor. I have to go to this and that. Its all about the greed and i thank you for you looking into it. It deserves me when i see what you are saying. I understand you 100 and god bless you all. S would require manufacturers to see where a product comes from, where medicine comes from. It was intermediately, but consumers and doctors and armistice everybody, we should know where our medicine is being made. So we gonna do that quickly because that is ramping up reduction and taking a whole lot of our generic market as western generic manufacturers are collapsing. We can do that quickly or otherwise you are really going to be inui a situation where cha is the predominant producer of generic drugs. Does our dependence im china for these medicines, is that causing some of the shortages that we are talking about. Absolutely, if we cant make antibiotics anymore, if we stop making the ingredients for chemotherapy, and if we are dependent upon a single country. Once again if wemo help all of e world news oil, all of the countries in the world and go to china, either oil supply or food or we dont do that but that is where our medicine supply hasas migrated. China controls about h 80 percet of the ingredients to make generic medicine. Just say about that. They make the room until aerials, the make the chemicals, and that they turn that into what makes the medicine medicine. It is been a very deliberate strategy. Really smart strategy. That is how we got here so our shortage problem is that we need to bring some of this manufacturing back home so we are not dependent im a single country. At the satellite. This is the Global Pandemic for a Natural Disaster in china. We will be lining up behind other countries to get medicines in china, they will keep this medicines for themselves. Theyre not going to send it to the United States to patients in hospitals here. Really it is a serious problem. Isnt that the United States cannot make these medicines or is that that wee wont. Will we have shut down a lot of manufacturing plants. And with that goes the talent enand skill and knowledge to knw how to make them. Do we have a moment in the next ten years we need to capture that talent to make sure we dont lose it. None of the positive side, heres some good news about what is happening to address shortages. There is a contortion of about a thousand hospitals, mayo clinic and others, enter really concerned about the shortages. Sand so they set up a new organization and they are doing something really smart. Like anybody would do any of the market. Theyre looking for new suppliers, and trust for the countries, and they are giving them longterm contracts and paying a fair price, nonracist bond price. And within one year news of startups, they were able to apply their member hospitals with a really important antibiotic. Its one of t these last resorts life or death medicines. And the finished drugs made an implant in ohio and the active ingredient is coming you wrote. There is 13 of drugs that are in line and more to come next year. So shortages are solvable. Well have shortages of anything in the center why is it that we have shortages of medicine. It is really quite remarkable. But we are seeing hospitals turn it around and we just have to grow this exponentially. We gotta do it quickly. Have some of that manufacturing back in the units. If. Has brought a National Security issue. I assume that our military needs all of the same medicines that the civilian population does. I assume they are getting the same medicines that everyone else gets. How is thisve not a National Security issue or is it pretty. Is the huge National Security issue. Say of what you could do with medicine in a deal political context. If you i control the supply. If you are the predominant producer of a live biotics, you can withhold those. In you contaminate them can make them look like medicine and that nothing in them. And if you want to destabilize the country demoralize the population really quickly, all you have to do is hold medicine. Seems like at least somebody at the fda agrees with you. Janet is head of the evaluations of research. And heres what she said. Lack of reliable supply of critical medicines, its a significant risk for National Security. Not just for our military but us in all of her citizens. Thats just weird turnabout rightcurlybracket would make this right. You dont have to have the electric grid, is the country down, say of those young men and women in theec South China Sea d the aircraft carriers, and they are looking out at their adversary and are dependent im the adversary basic medicines for the ingredients to make them absolutely remarkable. Im really delightededme south a positive note chelsea, was china sirx are occurring im capitol hill awarded scott now and people announcing this is a tremendous National Security risk that we have to tint to it very quickly. Lets go back to our phone lines and talk to jim. Hes from cheyenne, wyoming. Jim, good warning. Warning, earlier it was stated that no one in the government is responsible for doug doug supply. I am wondering who is response will hear. Is there anybody in the house and senate that is making a concerted effort to correct this or does china have such a powerful lobby that it somehow is depressing any political activity to correct the issue. Thank you. The first thing that is taking place is that there is National Security reviews going im inre the federal governmento understand what we are vulnerable. And at a recent hearing in house energy subcommittee, this is the topic that came up in the fda have been asked questions and provided some answers im where we are vulnerable. That was the first recommendation in china are expert we have to know where we are vulnerable. And ive been surprised and briefings that i have done in many different sectors that many people just arent aware of. That is changing. And then we need a plan to escalate this. And how we use our procurement dollars from our taxpayer her name. To support manufacturing him back to the United States from very medicines. So our military and departments in va. The american taxpayers are spending millions and millions of dollars a year. So that is going to china. To support their industry. We need to bring some of that her name back home so we can support our workers here. Have the security of medicine supply join we need it, every person and every time. Smashed sergeant robert, from california. You are a medical professional. Tell us what you are staying. You had this issue going im for years now, we had central medications such as ativan and give to people who are having seizures and other conditions. It just disappears off of the market. Im a pharmacies scrambling to find places for it and im not getting into the regulation but we have some poor Family Companies who are looking for this medication and the epidemic im opioids flooding the market. Its an insane situation and something needs to step in. We need to find out what the priorities are. The drug company priorities. The colors absolutely right. There is a tb drug. To treat tuberculosis. In his interest by now. Its been a shortage now many times before. This is the situation we are in. What we need to do is give an incentive for manufacturers come back home. A root cause chelsea is manufacturers are going out of business. Because we are viewing these generic drugs as cheap commodities like buying cheap teachers. Unite to go to the Shopping Mall next weekend and were looking for the cheap possible this intense and thought it. Incredibly, this is how im a large scale, how are generic drugs are being purchased pristiq are looking for cheapou anyone hiking, but will supply cheap. And good producers are going out of business. Because they want to provide a quality product. That is why we have shortages. These are so few producers left. So what we need to do is bring a manufacturing back home, support this company to want to do it right, pay them a fair price. Im renewal date from an editorial you wrote earlier this year about this problem. This way over the past 30 years, a lot of manufacturing has been offshore. With generics providing 95 percent of the americans medicines, there is no a growing reliance im china for a drug. The u. S. No longer makes penicillin. The last part was tilting in 2004. Now the u. S. Has virtually no capacity to make the general and a minus used to treat severe infections, strep throat, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections, stds, lyme disease, and other illnesses. Join the u. S. Government needs todi buy 20 million doses of the antibiotics after the 2001 anti act, they turn to a european supplier the sources ingredients from china. This seems to be a huge problem. Is an enormous problem and we need quit the exit quickly. Because our vulnerability is increasing. In one year since china rx news, its remarkable how our independency with china is accelerating. China has an industrial policy in a plant, thats what we here join it comes to our medicines. This has an industrial policy. Their aim is to become the pharmacies of the world. They are im track to do exactly that. We dont have a plan but we need to plan. I need to do quickly. What effect has the trade battles between the United States and china during this administration, had im the drug supply. As it h had any. I was china threatened the drug supply because of the trade battles or has been completely separate issue that has nothing to doo with the trade talks between the administration and china. Criminals are, there were no tariffs placed im medicine coming into the nazis from china. Heres how trade policy and her medicine supply came together. In 2000, we opened up free trade with china. Which meant that china could sell product air to the United States that went out tariffs they once had. So they were cheaper here. And within four years, heres whats happened to her medicine. In four years of opening free trade with china, and is one or less penicillin plant closed, this winter last aspirin plant closed, as in last vitamin c plant closed, and that is join this lets enright talk about that is necessary in hospitals for surgery, called heffron, that is join Company Started by anthony from china. The trade policy has profound impact. We didnt protect the homeland when he came tot medicine in regards trade. We didnt really do reset that. We need to ensure that we have the medicines that we need here for National Security and for our health. Lets go back to the bones and talk to david who was calling from texas. David good warning. Good warning. Terrific topic. Your guest has brought up an absolute critical issue and as you touch im describing how this happened or specifically with the pharmaceutical industry, and china got into the wto, perhaps this is such a hot issue in lifeanddeath and easy to see, alba becomes a part of the bigger conversation related to doing trade china in general. During during the wto has led to the sort of scenario and other places not just medicine obviously look at the situation rareearth metals, they control the world market and that as well. Human assets in mind in this country. The dumplings im theun market, beginning something the government helps them produce it. The defendant join marcus run everybody out of business, the raise rates and prices another control everything. Rinse and repeat, then you do it over and over again. Its not aon mystery. You mentioned lobbying a moment ago. This is one of the big reasons tom got elected. For lobbyists should be illegal. You cant bannn u. S. Lobbying as part of the first amendment. Releases interpreted that way buchanan foreign lobbying. Men believe me im prices in dc would become much more affordable. You can really take those serious look at we do have a Vice President son taking a trip unenforced to, hung im with the dealal with todays later a big deal. This isnt just a democratic thing has brought a republican thing is the wayl. The world works. This way for hundreds of years and wereds supposedly not a country with corruption problems like other countries in the world. What you are talking about, this issue that you are discussing, lifeanddeath scenario, our politicians have allowed it to happen. Company in plain sight what is 70000 manufacturing plants have disappeared. Donald trump at some. If we dont get some real deals made deals that include being able to leforce the theft of intellectual properties everything else, this one until china is in charge of everything. Color makes a good. , the cyclical care that china has used. Heres how the lesser manufacturing of vitamin c. Its been an Ongoing Court case with supreme court. Ample Chinese Companies that came in and was in the dumped really cheap ingredients to make up for big acid, or hamburger buns and also things. They drove out all of the producers in the United States and around the world. So there were a handful of companies that said this is antitrust. This is against our laws. In federal court in brooklyn, a jury saw this for what it was. It was unequivocal evidence. There was no dispute. The Chinese Companies fixed prices and controlled supply of the vitamin c. And the jury, there was a verdict hundred Million Dollars settlement that the Chinese Companies had to pay. While that wasnt the end of it. The Chinese Companies appealed in federal court and here was the argument. In the Chinese Government actually came in u. S. Federalme court and said, we required our companies as a matter of chinese law, to fix prices and to control the supply i would sorry accident vitamin c in the United States. We required our companies to do that to controld supply in the federal Appeals Court ruled in favor of the chinese company. Saint currently cannot expect them to abide by their law and u. S. Life at the same time. In the interest in international comity, neighborliness, were going to overturn jury verdict. Administrations of both political parties, department of justice said im the sidelines. There was no one defending the American People and the american businesses. To protect ourur ability to maka really important vitamin. This emblematic. Chinas playbook. About a year and half ago, the department of justice did way and in this case was appealed to the supreme court. There was a unanimous decision written by justice ginsburg, said the Appeals Court probably put is it too much weight in the Chinese Governmentt assertion s a matter of chinese law. Spend more than a year since that decision in the case is still pending and the court. This is the playbook, they do it with vitamins b8 can do it with vitamin c, they can do it with anything. They can control the price and pcontrolled supply. Everything else. This is where were headed. Would been hearing about the problem this entire segment. What is the solution and what should be s done, what should te government be doing right now, what can be done immediately to stop the shortages. What can be done to stop this in the future. Any shortage, we dont hear about shortages of anything inta the United States. Why isis that. Because markets fix this. So this consortium of more than a thousand hospitals, looking for suppliers. Trustworthy company that will make a highquality product. You pay themdu a fair price need them a lot of business, you have a longterm contract so they have i the incentive to invest n good manufacturing facilities and even backup. Thats how you solve shortages. You look for different suppliers. I was approached by a group of people who want to sell this well have center i keep talking about heaven, the hospitals need to do surgery. That went out hospitals or drug down. Ms which it for some p reason, the king anye to buy the product. It is coming from the u. S. Congress needs to investigate why new suppliers are coming in cannot get the product to market. The market can fix it we have to allow market to fix it. We have to view this as akn National Security priority. You know its happened with her generich drugs, and been viewed as a commodity. I remember going to the Grocery Store was a time to get free antibiotics. You remember that. Ha month supply whatever. He paid 4 for. We cant view our medicine as a cheapp commodity. Of course the country wasnt to be fairly priced. We need to view them as a Strategic Asset like we do while in like we do food. Shortages are absolutely unpredictable. If you have a sole supplier and country 10000 miles away for the whole world, of course theres going to be issues. This just the way life is. If you have a few suppliers and they are concentrated in a certain region, and if they have a history of problems in the plants is what, there are going to be shortages. We protect hurricanes and we can do anything about them. We predict hurricanes and wenn prepared, and having predictions, for shortages. We dont have a aes plan to pret them. And we dont have an Effective Response to get in there do with them right away. She met this evening it a couple of more calls and fully wrap up thet show. Mary from washington dc. Ranking warning. Good warning, i would love to have available the usa navy, native canada or someplace respectable, i want to be taking my b standard prescription from company in a country where who knows, they also mentioned that your original state farm seabird what can we just have a main and so its imd products. Will thero caller is bringing up a really important. By 5 percent of americans donti trust medicines from china. One of the responses i would get from lot of people news i remember join thousands of dogs and cats died because after being contaminated. Why are we getting our medicines from there. Trust is everything. If we have rocket fuel and a well have pressure medicines. That would be a real problem. We need to fix it fix it fast are the solution is to bring some of that manufacturing backh Home Congress can provide incentives to bring some of that manufacturing back home. There are good people want to fix this problem. Join stanley set talent and real motivation to fix it. We arent the only ones in the situation. As a Dutch Public Television documentary about the National Security risk and theyre not in a trade bustle with china. This is the global issue. We can bring c that back that manufacturing. It would revitalize communities and bring jobs backk to. Whether the main trunk, or medicine you need, possibly for an upcoming surgery, if its in short supply, is there anything you can do. Thats a tough one. If hospitals cant get in your pharmacy can get it and you dont want to go im the internet, you dont want to do that, how are you getting it. Lets try diane in georgia. Good warning how are you. First of all, i really appreciate this commentary. Micron news with generic drugs. I am 60 years old and about 15 years ago i was diagnosed with high well have pressure and is of the dr. Discussing things with me about preventative care, i was put im something that was called diamond. Diamond didnt work and they switch me to something else. Fast forward 15 years later, met three years ago i was put im something called lysenko. This was as a result of me being in between jobs so it was a generic which i didnt research. The dr. Tells things we dont research it. Please go for it. How we can with the dr. Says because we have an expectation that they are in the know. In about two days and after taking the central, all of my respiratory system shutdown and was rushed from my er limit right past trieste because everything, my throat was swollen neck and embrace. Four days later i and another four days in the hospital in an induced. They literally thought i was not going to make l it. Now i am out of place in my life where i am looking for preventative maintenance for myself. We dont always have to go to these different drugs just because we are told this doesnt work. You feel like a guinea tdo pig. We need to do the research im our own. Has brought a good thing happening chelsea, his new sports wrap company in connecticut, an Online Pharmacy and into something unique. They test every medicine before they sell it. The test three batches of every medicine. They actually tested lisinopril. And there was significant variation in these products. One of the Manufacturers Product had Different Levels of the active ingredient summit 94 percent, 93 percent and others and company, about 405 percent. We have to begin to test her generic drugs, every match. This is the recommendation what i made join i testified. Regrettably join a situation where we have towe test. It says every medicine before his head. The mitigating emergency drug shortages act, which would include requiring Prescription Drug companies for the sheer shortages of menaces to require them to develop a contingency plan. It would give thehe fda authoriy to prioritize hhs and department of Homeland Security to conduct risk assessments security threats join it comes to drugs. Is this the dive boat thing that congress should bee doing. Those are some good steps but reporting to the government on contingency plans and reporting join there might be shortages of the ingredient in your medicines, general government reporting going solve the problem. First they need to have Accurate Information. They shouldth ask so why is the chemotherapy drug in shortage. And need to get the real deal. Not that we are having trouble with our suppliers. The product was banned by the nefda because it had huge issues of integrity of the product, members of congress should know that. Theres a plant in china that exploded. And exploded because the workers were handling the chemicals right. That triggered a global shortage of anan antibiotic to treat a le threatening disease. Members of congress should know that. We have a shortage of heaven. This well have center. I keep going back to it. Well, we get so much of the raw material to make heparin from chinari. In the population is being decimated by ag disease. Less than we had shortage, hundreds of americans died. For some first members of Congress Need to ask for Accurate Information the whole story, unravel and im why we cant be shortages. The second thing that needs to be done is list get rid of the red tape. The second much easier the department of defense or military and the va design alternative suppliers in trust for the company news economy quality medicine for our military and a fairco price and sign longterm contracts so that our military veterans dont have to go that went out medicines. The third thing that we need to do is lets support some of that manufacturing come back home to revitalize communities and bring jobs back. Clinical two. I just have a comment. I just want to see that the state of the medicine, is the state of everything in our country. As stated healthcare and education iny, schools, join the congress, a criminal president , bad environment, basically, i am just so tired of this rome is falling and im glad my life is two thirds over. Again for loving me speak. Will question from suzanne. Good warning. My question is are they making our flu vaccines also. Because this is ridiculous. Everything is coming from china and we know this. Congressth poses and yet they ae portfolio of financial gain is wrapped up in china stock. Can i make you guys enough to stick in the fda should, twice at the fda visible camp for the people but the fda is probably corporate conglomerate, and he took a wealthy testing all all the areas that should be doing what we thought we were doing. We the people, need to stay on up and demand the congress and all of our political. Congress passed legislation to enable manufacturingd of flu vaccines here in the nazis but so my understanding is near me here.
