Investment is the backbone of America's global leadership in the biopharma industry, which is why policies like MFN, which undermine investment, pose a threat to national security.

Under President Trump, the life sciences industry has invested $582B+ into new facilities and R&D efforts in the U.S. Enacting MFN could undercut those investments and force the U.S. to fall behind.weworkforhealth.org/investinamerica
