Make drugs become available as generics on schedule rather then letting pharma companies drag the process out for decades with fuckery.
What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

I love Costco. Best stuff ever. Their generics are often superior to branded stuff.

Seems like the veterans administration gets a lot of their generics from india. Hard for me to take them, knowing some of those places are nasty, not to mention inaccurate in their dosing.

yeah, my problem was that the pharmacy lady was just being a jerk. I'm mostly on very boring meds that my insurance covers the generics for, so it's mostly just prejudice I guess that makes the ADHD meds so hard to get!

Was just filling my weekly pill box a few minutes ago, counting the different meds and wishing I lived in a country that didn't allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise drugs on tv, but instead made quality generics affordable instead.

And that’s only what we see. Big Pharma spends more on marketing than research, but most of that marketing money goes to target doctors, not patients. Pharma reps bribe medical professionals to push expensive pills over generics. Or even worse, dangerous meds like during the opioid epidemic.

They are not the same. I worked as a pharmacy technician for a few years and I'd have customers ask for specific brands of generics. They'd ask to see the pill or verify the manufacturer before buying it. This isn't scientific evidence but we should listen to the actual patients.

An analysis in Nature Health shows that five large language models recommended the same drug for a given active ingredient in 97.5% of cases and favored brand-name products over available generics, which could have potential implications for drug costs and pharmaceutical markets. #AI 🧪
Large language models show product name convergence in drug recommendations - Nature Health
In a benchmark analysis spanning 123 disease–drug pairs and 1,440 sociodemographic profiles, five large language models recommended the same drug product for a given active ingredient in 97.5% of cases and favoured originator products over available generics.

Most of the drugs they produce are generics, so alternatives ARE available. Your efforts put pressure on pharmacies to change their supplier ✊

The error is specifically in the returns() part it can't handle the generics. I think it might be even more limited that it needs to be a "constant reference".

How do generics interact with conditions?
Zena has reified generics with support in `is` and `as` operators. I haven't seen a way that they'd be a complicator yet.
