Overall people, I think the drug industry and modern medicine has yielded a significantly more positive than negative impact on our population's health. Sure, drug companies are profit takers too. But the alternative, means no more progress. (what was the last great drug advance offered from France?) And how can you people sit there and knock these HIV drugs? gimme a break. I remember just 10 years ago when entire hospital wings were devoted to dying AIDS patients. Its like bitching that offered water isnt cold enough when you're dying of thirst in the desert.
