Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, represents Massachusetts in the U. S. Senate.
【B1】______One investigator called it "most likely the largest cartel in the history of the United States. " This crisis calls for action. That is why I’ m introducing legislation to authorize the public manufacture of generic drugs wherever drug companies have warped markets to drive up prices.
【B2】______But they’ re not operating in a free market; they’ re operating in a market that’ s rigged to line their pockets and limit competition. The entire pharmaceutical industry in reality runs on government-granted monopolies, mostly in the form of long-term patent protections.
【B3】______With so little competition for generics, drug makers can push up prices and squeeze consumers without consequence. As a result, prescription drug prices are crushing families. Millions of Americans are skipping required doses and putting their health at risk because they can’ t afford to renew their prescriptions.
【B4】______Today, in market after market, competition is dying as a handful of giant companies gain more and more market share. And as these companies get bigger, they create a vicious cycle, spending millions more on politics and lobbying to rig the rules, crushing potential competitors and further insulating themselves from legal or market accountability.
【B5】______HHS would manufacture or contract for the manufacture of generic drugs in cases in which no company is manufacturing a drug, when only one or two companies manufacture a drug and its price has spiked, when the drug is in shortage, or when a medicine listed as essential by the World Health Organization faces limited competition and high prices.
Public manufacturing will be used to fix markets, not replace them. The Affordable Drug Manufacturing Act would allow the government to manufacture generic drugs at lower costs or contract with manufacturers to produce the drugs at competitive prices. And if a potential manufacturer thinks it can do better, the bill provides that the license to manufacture the drug is continually offered for sale, with the only condition being that the buyer would agree to keep selling the product to consumers at competitive prices.
Questions 61 ~ 65

B. Drugs prescribed by doctors can be extremely hazardous if used in the wrong way.
C. Today, 40 percent of generic drugs are made by a single company, and the majority are manufactured by only one or two companies.
D. Forty-seven states and the Justice Department are investigating a price-fixing conspiracy that’ s driving up the cost of generic drugs in the United States.
E. Drug companies use the "free market" as a shield against any effort to reduce prices for families.
F. The generic label shareware covers a marketing concept rather than a particular brand of software.
G. Promoting competition used to be a central goal of economic policymaking.
