The problem lies in the so called social contract each society wants to endorse. Either people face drugs as social goods (social economical model) or as goods (liberal model).
If drugs are social goods then, in theory you put the well being of the masses above anything else.
If drugs are just goods to be marketed, then there's no need to bother. Either the financial aspect is lucrative (e.g. reasoned) or you can't have legal access to the drug.
ps. The fact that the US has the worst and most expensive health system in the world of course, says something about healthcare.
