I will be happy to provide factual information. No, I am not in any position that is in any way related to pharmaceuticals or medical industries or affiliates.

Do you understand what goes in to getting medicine made? I mean, they are in it for the money the same as any business, but they don't make as much as you think. drug companies aren't making all that much money. The world's largest pharmaceutical company, Pfizer, has taken such a financial beating that they are forced to shut down a lot of factories and production in order to cut costs. Overall, in fact, all major and just about all in general are losing money. Simply Google "pharmaceutical downgraded" and see all the many companies that are in financial jeopardy. Take the company Hollis-Eden for example, they spent over $100 million in a medicine used to fight the effects of radiation exposure and they NEVER made a profit.

To make a new drug, it is insanely expensive. While it may be true that that $20 a pill has less than a dollars worth of chemicals and material in it, but behind those pills are millions upon millions of dollars spent on research, development, testing, and marketing, and countless other drugs that never made it that far despite the millions poured into them because they were unsafe or didn't work. Then, if they are lucky after doing all that work, it will get approved by the FDA, then they have to get doctors on-board with convincing them that they should use it. Even then, there is still the potential for major financial loss once the patents expire and people are able to make dirt cheap generics.

People seem to get upset at them because what they are doing is more crucial to our safety, and therefor, can never do it to our satisfaction. Again, look at history, economic, and financial pattern of money spent and profit earned from all those companies over long spans. Again, most of them are lucky to see profit and they cure diseases all. the. time.
