i'm sure this has been discussed before, but i came across this on cnn.com
personally, i agree with this person because i don't think drug companies give a toss either way whether everyone is dying. and i think it's been said before that they actually want people to be ill because they can make more money that way. the government knows this, so they are just as much to blame for not putting the proper amount of funding towards it. once again, greed ruins everything. anyway, it's an interesting (and infuriating) article, if anyone wants to read it:
