I would like to know what our congressional legislators have to say about making America medically independent. More importantly, what legislation are they going to propose to return manufacturing of our critical infrastructure items to the USA? Medical supplies, equipment and medicines are produced in, you guessed it, China. Ninety-eight percent of America’s medicine is produced in China. Planet Earth is on lockdown and it all originated in China. To save face they blamed our country for their virus and demanded an apology or withhold pharmaceuticals and other critical supplies.

We need to start asking Senators Risch, Crapo and Reps Fulcher and Simpson to publicly announce support for America’s medical infrastructure independence and what legislation they plan to introduce.

This should be a huge wake-up call for America. We are already energy independent and now we need to be medically independent.

After this virus passes, will we go back to business as usual and be dependent on a communist country for our way of life? Or will we use this virus to our advantage and demand that our legislators do something?

Idaho should lead the way.
