Did you even read what you wrote? You said that the government and insurance companies had just as much influence as the pharmaceutical companies in what a doctor prescribes. Does the government and insurance companies push doctors to prescribe something that doesn't come from a pharmaceutical company? The whole point is that the pharmaceutical companies don't come up with drugs aimed at curing people, because that's not what they want. I'll ask my question again. If people were to actually get better or be cured of something, then where would the money come from?
