FEATURED EDITORIAL

The Jones Act Hurts U.S. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

The Jones Act punishes U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing. It may have taken a modern-day war, one much involved with the free navigation of commercial shipping, but after more than 100 years navigating a policy of protectionism – and fear of competition – are we on the cusp of again waiving the Jones Act? Chief Editor Louis Garguilo says let’s not temporarily waive it. Sink the Jones Act forever.
