I consider myself relatively libertarian, so I find myself nearly in shock that I believe a single payer system is the inevitable, and perhaps best, solution. (Although your generic vs branded thing makes no sense, no offense) Our problem is that we have made thing SO dysfunctional that a few laws here and there probably cant fix it - that's how broken it is. There would be drawbacks for sure, but we're at the point where things are so bad that the incremental drawbacks would be far outweighed by the benefits. It's pretty depressing to think about in all honesty.
