The problem is MERC and others may not drop it low enough to make a profit, but so low that they are actually losing money in order to drive generics out of business

You have any proof they price it to lose money?

MERC can afford to lose money on one drug, while its still got large markups on others to cover it... generic producers may not have that ability.... and the end game of no generic drugs being available means eventually higher prices for everyone.

Who's forcing the generics to make the money losing drug? They'd avoid that drug and watch Merck lose money.

The pioneering drug companies have all banded together to target the generics and drive them out of business. They've joined forces with the FDA, the AMA and the CFR to make this happen. Once they've eliminated all competition they'll raise prices and only make drugs that keep us sick, instead of healing us, so we need more drugs and additional visits to the doctor. The doctors and drug companies will keep us alive only until they've taken all our money and we're no use to them anymore. Jerome Corsi said so. Buy MRK!
