I'll second this:
" resume the old policy of forbidding drug advertising in TV and other non medical journals to reduce over prescriptions and reduce drug costs by a good 15% (drug companies SG&A has grown to 30% of sales, more than twice what they spend on R&D, halving that expenditure would thus reduce drug cost by more than 15%, just by that approach, reducing the per capita by $100/year)."
