Welcome to mass medicine. On medicare, even your doctor is told what he/she can charge and they are told they must see 4 patients an hour. That is 15 minutes each

You know where it's made, because the manufacturer's name is right on your prescription label. For Walgreens' labels it's directly under the name of the medication itself.
For instance, my current batch of generic levothyroxine is manufactured by Amneal, and is manufactured in the USA.
It took me less than 4 minutes to check the bottle in my bathroom medicine cabinet, scan the wikipedia entry for the manufacturer's name, discover that they have plants in 3 different countries, then do a google search for "amneal levothyroxine country of origin" and see that this particular drug is made in the USA.
