I am totally with you... There are so many conditions which would lead to an early death without medication. Many disabilities today are only existent because people are too poor to have access to health care. Children in some countries die because there is no antibiotic to have. Today someone who is born with diabetes can live almost normal life; hundred years ago this disease was a death sentence. This does not mean the pharma industry is all good. Is a money driven industry, not a non-profit organization. Perhaps if it were, someone would have invented a cure for diabetes instead of making money with insulin, or a cure for arthritis instead of earning money through surgery. Nevertheless, I am happy to not have died with young age through scarlet fever thanks to our modern health care.
