Pharmaceutical companies (and all other corporations, for that matter) pay the lobbyists to write the legislation that is then duly waved through. This is to say the governance structure itself is captured. In fact, I think it always was captured, but only that we have laboured erroneously under the idea that it was there to help us. And creating that illusion is the job of education and corporate media. Until we are disabused of the idea that government is anything other than a parasitical, wealth extraction process, that no one has the right to forcibly take another's money (tax) and to do so means to be subjugated to a type of slavery, that legislation has very little to do with morality, that we are given our opinions first at school with 18 years or so of indoctrination which is then topped up via screens and newspapers - until we recognise that we are sovereign beings that will stand up for what is right and refuse what is wrong, we're not going to change much.
