I really don't think it would affect new drugs coming out
And probably not drug shortages. If the Pharmas try that, it can be stopped. They are getting very rich off other people's Research. Pharmaceutical R&D is a joke as any insider knows. The take government and university research and build on it. I'd bet half their R&D is spent of PR crap with researchers and other docs. They soak the consumer in this country and we let them get away with it. Lobbying.
