Almost $1B Later, the US Still Can't Make a Medical Glove

The US has struggled to produce 100% American-made medical gloves despite investing almost $1 billion. The issue lies in the complex supply chain and lack of domestic manufacturers. This affects the country's ability to respond to medical emergencies and supply its own healthcare system. To address this, the US government and private companies are working to establish domestic glove production. This effort aims to improve the country's medical supply resilience.
