I'm saying they would be rushed even more if their patents ran out faster. If a drug company needs to come out with a big drug ever 2 years instead of 5 because their patents are shorter, they'll be even more rushed than they currently are.

I'm not talking about things currently, everything is based off the hypothetical scenario of patent terms being reduced.
