Problem: I wonder why we even need generic medications, and if there is supposedly no difference, then why is there a difference. We should not even have the need for generic medication, medication should be made and produced to be attainable and affordable to all no matter what insurance coverage you have, no one should suffer because they cannot afford medication, and the fact that there are name brand drugs and generic drugs lets you know that there is a problem, whether it is with research, FDA, the middle man, or cost, there is a problem with the cost of medication.
