"The drug companies aren't interested so much in eliminating disease as they are in suppressing it enough to extract maximum profits from their patients"
this is a ridiculous statement perpetrated and never questioned by the left.
Bermuda, there's an incredible amout of money in the business. For every drug that is approved that has saved countless lives, consider for one second that that one drug costs MILLIONS of dollars to get make it that far. Now consider - for every drug that is approved, which makes your Mom's, your sisters, your brothers life better, if not saving it all together, is a needle in a haystack. Hundreds upon hundreds of drugs costing as much each, have only gone through a portion of the approval process only to find out "the shit just ain't happenin."
Meanwhile, the same people who scream about getting these drugs for free once their approved, are the same people who stifle the process with frivolous lawsuits the entire way through crying about how evil the big drug companies are.
This liberal mentality of "if your a successfull company your evil, whatever you make i have a god-given right too" is getting old and wonder is absolutely right - it is this mentality that stifles progress and in the long run ends up hurting only yourselves.
