Enabling??? There has been competition in the prescription drug market forever. It's called generic drugs. The real cost of drugs comes from the FDA requirements that cost an average of 2.5 billion dollars for every new drug approved for sale. That's billion, with a B. If you want to really reduce drug costs, that's where to start.
