Medical Manufacturing In The U.S. Is Strong

See Medical Manufacturing in the U.S. is Alive and Well by Mark Perry of "Carpe Diem." Excerpt:

"Except for two months in 2008, the amount of medical equipment and supplies manufactured in the U.S. was higher in April of this year than ever before. The annual growth in the production of medical equipment manufacturing over the last year was 3.5%, slightly lower than the 4.25% annual average growth over the last 25 years. Consider also that the amount of medical equipment manufactured in the U.S. has doubled since the early 1990s, which is in direct contradiction to the frequent claims about the "demise or death of U.S. manufacturing."

When you think of "U.S. manufacturing in the 21st century" think of high-end, high-value-added heart pumps, MRI machines, and surgical heart values produced by high-wage American medical manufacturing companies like Medtronic. And don't believe the nonsense from Donald Trump and others about how "we don't make anything in the U.S. any more." The U.S. is the world leader in the manufacturing of medical equipment and supplies, and we make more now than ever before."
