The government sees the cost of health care coverage an issue for U.S. and the real issue is the drug manufacturing companies being in contracts with our leading health insurance suppliers such as Anthem.  Insurance companies get a kick back from drug manufacturing companies by allowing consumers to only purchase the name brand drugs. Therefore, even WITH a generic available, the insurance companies force the consumer to get the name brand, at higher costs,  to get their kick back. If the government really wants to fix some of the health care issues, the need to address the ties between insurance providers and drug companies that most don't know about.
