Capitalism when people dealing with medical conditions:
This is bad for business
Also:
My father told a story years back, in his field (chemistry) of someone stumbling across treatment for a disease using a common, widely available, and relatively inexpensive drug
The guy got blacklisted from working at universities and his paper buried
Years later (20 years?), it became discovered/commonly known
This is something the pharma industry does itself, it doesn't need any outside help
Why cure anything when you can milk insurance for treatments for whatever it is for the rest of someone's life?
This has permeated the medical/pharmaceutical industry so much that it affects the way we conceive of disease. It's most pronounced in mental health.
