So what, in your opinion, is the alternative? Perhaps we should dismantle all the drug companies? Tax them at 90 percent? Stop all research and treatment because there is money involved? Put a limit on how much money drug companies can earn? Let the government take over and run all the drug companies at a loss? I’d like to know you would arrange things better. I can’t believe you think drug companies are holding back a cure for cancer.
Doctors practice medicine.....it is not perfect. We are great at emergency medicine in this country, but take a minute and think about how many are are actually helped by more and more meds. Why is it better to give someone surgery or meds when prescribing a healthy diet would work. I am not suggesting anyone force healthy lfestyles on us, but if we want to be healthy, eating right is just as viable an option as surgery and not used nearly enough.
I can't believe you think I said that!
If it were true that people are witholding a cancer cure, you are the one blaming drug companies. I just made it clear that a whole lot of people are employed in treating cancer. I haven't thought that anybody would hold back a cancer cure.
You shouldn't put erroneous thoughts into other people's heads!
Whoever discovers a cure for cancer is going to become a multi-billionaire like the world has never seen.
As you are pointing out, to say there is “money” in holding back a cure is nonsensical.
There is money in finding a cure.
One wonders why we have toothpaste and floss companies and such items as water-pik. Wouldn’t there be so much more money in letting everyone’s teeth rot???
And what’s with the laser eye surgery? Surely there is more money to be made in fulfilling yearly prescriptions than in a one-time surgery.
