Wrong, in true American fashion, this will only lead to new draconian laws that make it highly illegal for Americans to purchase cheaper drugs from abroad. The American drug companies will be protected at all costs.
Extant laws will do. If the drug companies change any step in the production or packaging of the product, the FDA must reaprove the process. So changing the final packaging will make the drugs illegal in the US. Problem solved.
