The shortage peaked at the end of last year when 295 different drugs were in short supply — and the shortage is only rising, the report found.
“These shortages have cascading effects on patient care, causing delays in treatment, increasing the risk of medication errors, and requiring the use of less effective alternative treatments,” the report said. “Hospitals have also experienced increased costs, medication waste, and limited staffing capacity to address and remedy shortages.”Bloomberg via Getty Images
“Taken together, these underlying causes not only present serious concerns about providing adequate care to patients, they also represent serious national security risks,” Committee Chairman Gary Peters said on Wednesday while presenting the report’s findings,Neither the federal government nor the pharmaceutical industry has the means to access the full supply chain — from raw materials to ready medication to be sold and administered by health care providers.
As a result of the shortage, patients have been forced to delay treatment or seek alternative medications.

California School District's Critical Race Theory Discussion Halted After Angry ScenesThere were angry scenes at a school district meeting for Temecula Valley, California, on Wednesday, March 22, after a man said someone told him to “get out of the country” after he spoke on critical race theory.In footage livestreamed by the Temecula Valley Unified School District, a black man is heard addressing a recent decision to hire an anti-critical race theory consultant, as well as the board’s decision to ban the teaching of critical race theory. The man calls it “asinine” to ban it, “when it isn’t even taught.”He says, 'Your continued blatant, willful ignorance of the black experience in this country is not only shameful but also detrimental to the education and growth of our children.“It is a disappointing to see people with a problem with history being taught,” he says.After finishing his speech, the speaker is heard off camera saying a woman told him “get out of the country” if that’s how he feels. Separate video showed the interaction heard in the video here.In the district’s footage, board president Joseph Komrosky asks for the man to be escorted out of the building and says, “If you’d like, the whole auditorium can leave.” Board member Allison Barclay says, “I object to that. If that woman said that to him, she needs to be excused.”In footage posted by Twitter user fierymaliha, attendees can be heard chanting to demand that the woman leave. Attendees can be heard repeatedly chanting, “Get her out” and “Take the woman.” A woman in a pink top is then seen being escorted out by sheriff’s deputies.The board president paused the meeting for a 10-minute recess during the heated scenes.Last December, the Temecula Valley Unified School District board voted 3-2 to ban the teaching of critical race theory in district schools, local media reported.
