Description

In this episode of Off Script, we continue our conversation with John Murphy III, president and CEO of the Association for Accessible Medicines, to dig deeper into the vulnerabilities and structural challenges shaping U.S. generic and biosimilar drug production.


Murphy examines the most fragile links in the supply chain — from the lack of domestic API production to key starting-material constraints — and explains why long-term, coordinated policy action is essential for restoring supply chain resiliency. He also outlines the legislative, regulatory, and market reforms that could strengthen domestic capacity without compromising patient access or affordability.
