[QUOTE="Neoncat, post: 1557140, member: 397089"] Bashing drug companies is easy to do but I never hear anyone suggesting how it should be different. No one can afford to work for free, all those scientists, factories, the delivery drivers who take your medicines to the pharmacy have their own bills to pay. You must have a very skewed view of the world if you think every single one of those people is sat around cackling thinking about how they can screw over sick people. I would also argue that industry, driven by its need to make a profit is often far more efficient than academia at actually getting stuff out the door in a usable and affordable format (I agree some drugs are prohibitively expensive but companies are aware there is a cut off on what people can and will pay). I am quite happy to say there are problems with the things big Pharma does (Particularly in the marketing of drugs which is a dark place), but don't for a second imagine that the organic kale producer down the road doesn't have it's own vested interests. So genuinely: how else should we be doing this? [/QUOTE]
