Yes, it does. You know, I live in a poor country called Brazil. About 20 years ago a right-wing Health Minister under a neoliberal president created a law that breaks the patents of any medication after 10 years on the market. After that, any laboratory can fabricate it, and the prices drop dramatically. We call these "generics", and each manufacture goes through all the same tests and regulations that the original went through. It works really well. And because of the competition, even the originals become cheaper.
