Republican governors from 11 states sent a letter to leaders in Congress demanding bipartisan action on the pervasive drug shortages touching a variety of medical conditions and sectors of the healthcare industry.
"To date, little has been done to address this crisis," wrote Gov. Kristi Noem , the primary author of the letter."States are taking what limited action we can to combat prescription drug shortages [but] to create real change, the states need Washington to take action."The Food and Drug Administration lists 136 drugs as currently in shortage.
"These shortages are not new, but they are becoming more frequent and more severe," wrote the governors."Pharmacists in our states are having to tell patients that they don’t have critical medicine available. Nobody should have to experience that kind of worry, especially not in the United States of America."
"The FDA and medical companies are currently restricted by federal law regarding their transparency policies," wrote the governors."The American people deserve to know the truth behind where their prescription drugs are coming from and how they are quality tested, especially when those drugs are originating overseas."
