And "small pharma" (or whoever is making the generics) is still making more money than the $2-3 per month because it's subsidized by insurance.
I'm on a generic prescription now that with insurance is $5/month, and without was $1400/month. Even if the pharma company accepts less than $1400 through insurance negotiation, I find it difficult to believe that my insurance company haggles well enough to knock the price down to just $5. The profit that even a generic pharmaceutical company makes comes from somewhere.
