Socialism for the rich, par for the course. These drugs were paid for by federal grants through NIH and NSF, as well as money given to universities for building construction. If you ignore that you're either stupid or a paid liar.
On the one hand, it seems obvious that the profit motive could incentive companies to innovate and make better drugs. On the other hand, corporations want to keep shareholder profits flowing, FOREVER, and have a near zero incentive to cure people. The more drugs we make, the more illness that said drugs treat we get. Pharma Corporations are richer than ever and Americans are sicker than ever. Doesn't seem like the system is working.
