hmm did you read the article ??
--------------
"Mr. Saran, 43, of Arlington is described as the ringleader of a scam that officials said included duping prescription drug wholesalers into selling him and his cohorts painkillers, diet pills, anti-anxiety drugs and drugs containing codeine, among others, at deep discounts reserved for legitimate businesses selling to hospitals and other institutions. "
---------------------
they didnt buy the drugs from any "generic" drug supplier. They setup a fake drug company , bought the drugs from regular drug companies like ELI LILY and sold them for twice what they are worth..
Your right on one part though , drug companies rely on their patents to overcharge people, if the internet is unregulated , people can just copy their recipe and sell the drug for peanuts, a drug that might cost billions to develop.
Thats exactlt why the government can't get into drug making. They dont have the patience or money to spend billions on developing drugs .
