Reimportation
The immediate gratification of reimporting drugs from other countries is a powerful force. No one loses in the short-term.
Pharmaceutical company pipelines will spit out whatever is currently there. So for a few years we'd still see new, and maybe innovative, drugs. However, once the pipeline is cleared, the assumptive position that drug development as usual will continue seems unexamined.
More immeditiately, how long will a country of 32.5 million people be able to support the drug habits of one with 293 million people?
