Used to be . . .
When a drug ran past its patent, the generics
would start manufacturing.

The cost of 'name brand' would then come down or
folk would buy nothing but the generic.

That system served the U.S. very well for decades . . .

So, why aren't there generic drug makers for these
outrageously priced drugs?
