yet somehow people think “big Pharma” is hiding “the cure for cancer” because they make more money from chemo and shit. “big Pharma” is not a monolith - the developer of the treatment (and stockholders) would make tons of money from it.
But only until the patents expire. They’ll run out of cancers to fix and then the money train is over. Not curing things pays off forever.
Also, if a cancer treatment that cures you is $200, 000, but a cancer treatment that might put you into remission or might cause you to die costs $175,000, your insurance company will only help pay for the $175k one.
When advantageous to your position, I am 100% sure that you would say that they only care about next quarter. But now companies care about decades in the future when oatents expire?

Unless a CEO was recently shot.
