Those pharma corps wouldn't exist without the government helping to prop them up or the actual researchers doing their job. To me, this isn't an argument but an excuse for greed. If a company invents a cure for a disease that could save 1000 people but they charge enough that only 10 people can use it, is it really fair to say this is OK because 'well at least less people are dying'? And the excuse of drugs being expensive to manufacture doesn't even exist in this case. Insulin isn't expensive and other nations don't pay nearly as much as Americans. So more Americans are dying solely to line the pockets of executives and CEOs. It's frankly amazing how far we'll go to excuse rampant greed while people with insulin are dying as a result of the greed. To value profits over lives is disgusting.
