There was an uproar that we can't trust other countries to make our drugs, they aren't as safe as the United States.

We were buying drugs then made in India and other countries. These big pharmaceutical companies have factories all over the world. I had to stop taking Quinapril because there was a contaminated batch from Mexico.

The bottom line is what they care about.
