Big majorities want drugs made in America: Poll

Most people want their medications to be made in the United States and worry about the safety of relying on overseas suppliers for generic medicines, according to a new poll shared first with the Washington Examiner.

The survey of registered voters, conducted by Morning Consult for Americans for Safe Drugs, shows that voters want the Biden administration to conduct greater oversight of generic pharmaceuticals imported into the U.S. by foreign manufacturers. Big majorities favor inspections of facilities that have been flagged for violating federal regulations, 85%, halting imports, 84%, and testing the manufacturer’s products, 86%.
