    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.

    Unless a CEO was recently shot.

      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?
