As long as a company makes money good for them. It is the only reason companies exist.

That's right. Companies don't exist to provide goods and services, they exist to make money for themselves.

Making a product was a means to make money. Sure people needed it but making money is also a primary concern.

The "for profit" sector of the medical care delivery system, including the Insurance and Pharmacutical industries, is destroying the US health care system.

Simplistic. An impoverished response. You, your doctor and nobody else? More like you, your doctor, the surgeon, the anaesthetist, the surgical theatre personnel, the hospital.....We aren't talking a wound, a knife run through the fire, a bottle of whiskey and something to bite on.
