E&C COMMITTEE REPUBLICANS HEAD HOME WITHOUT ACTING ON THE NATIONAL DRUG SHORTAGE CRISIS

Press Release

"It looks holistically at the issues, addresses the nation's drug shortage crisis -- something lacking in the previous bill and works to shore up our supply chains. This bill includes provisions like early warning systems to prevent drug shortages and creates transparency to make sure that medicines are getting to kids and families that need them. In an emergency, the last thing we should have to worry about is access to necessary medication.

This amendment simply comprehensively looks at the hardships that we faced during the pandemic and takes some lessons that we need to learn going forward and takes into account the multiple agencies needed to respond to a crisis."
