Premier Responds to Congressional RFI on Strengthening Domestic Medical Supply Chains
Premier responded to a request for information (RFI) issued by Reps. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Blake Moore (R-UT), August Pfluger (R-TX) and Mark Green (R-TN) which seeks input on policy strategies to strengthen domestic medical supply chains. The RFI invites feedback from industry experts, stakeholders and coalition groups to inform Congress on the best ways to enhance national health security and reduce reliance on foreign adversaries for critical medical supplies.
The RFI seeks input on topics such as economic barriers to onshoring, strategies for diversifying supply chains and policies that could accelerate the transition to domestic production. Premier offered insights and policy recommendations to further advance this important work and to insulate patients and providers from supply disruptions and shortages in the future. Premier’s comments focus on two key areas and include recommendations for:
Encouraging domestic manufacturing of critical medical supplies through tax incentives, such as those that Rep. Wenstrup’s draft ONSHORE Manufacturing Act would create.
