Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced a bipartisan bill Tuesday which orders a study to be conducted, on the effects of the United States’ dependence on China and other foreign countries when it comes to acquiring necessary pharmaceuticals.

The legislation, called The U.S. Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Review Act, directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Secretary of the Treasury, in conjunction with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), to conduct the study.
