So that is it. I think it is very important because there is this stigma promoted by the name-brand drug companies, and I certainly can understand why they want to do it, but there is a stigma about generic drugs. But getting back to the patent issue, when the patent expires on a drug, the generic company files with the FDA to say that they want to start making that drug. The FDA can say yes or no. And if the name brand company protects it and says we are changing this drug, then they get a 30-month extension; is that correct?

It's always a good idea. Everybody would say that. But I think also the animosity towards Donald Trump by the establishment has been so great that candidates usually don't get the kind of scrutiny he does.
