Couldn't USA invest in the capability of producing those drugs locally?
In theory yes, and in practice the US is planning on producing certain critical drugs locally, but most drugs will probably continue to be produced in India and China due to cost.
Well somebody ought to tell them that they should maybe put that +1000% margin they make on their drugs into that rather than lining their pockets.
God forbid the executives make a little less money - won't somebody think of those poor multi-millionaires! /s
Due to ~~cost~~ profit margins and shareholder returns.
Fixed that for you.
