Drug prices to get cheaper as patents expire

Over the next 14 months, generic drugs for seven of the world's best-selling drugs will become available as brand-name drug patents expire, including the top two: cholesterol fighter Lipitor and blood thinner Plavix.

Today on American Morning, senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen breaks down which drugs will decrease in price and discusses how much money Americans will save when they go generic.
