Patented drugs are good drugs. Very very good.

Some drugs are very very bad. They’re the enemy.

You are totally clueless. Or full of you know what. I'm in middle management at one of the 10 largest Pharma companies in the world. We strive for cures every day. We make lives manageable for those who suffer from chronic conditions. We have families, too. You think we look at profits before lives? You haven't a clue.

It takes hundred of millions of dollars to bring a drug to market.

Should my industry not have introduced clot-busters to save heart attack and stroke patients? Or how about statins to keep them alive afterwards? Or BP meds to keep folks alive who won't lose weight or change their dietary habits?

Do a little research, (or thinking) before you condemn an entire industry.
