Abstract

The severe impact of the coronavirus pandemic has indeed prompted several questions about economic and social security. Among them is placed the current concern about the possible nationalization of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry due to the fear of a possible generic drug shortages. More importantly, since the United States imports most of its drugs from other countries (e.g., China), is the impact of Covid-19 on the pharmaceutical industry the catalyst for a future nationalization for the U.S. pharmaceutical industry? Are there real reasons to support this prospect, or is it an old argument renewed by fear?
