I don't like BIll Maher much but he hit it on the head with this statement. He said, the goal of big pharma is to keep people in this grey area, not dead, but not healthy, in constant need of medication, that is were the most money is made.
Most will say that isn't happening because it is soooo evil. Well you aren't them, you can't imagine it because you are good in some sense. The problem is there ARE evil people who simply don't care about your health, your life, or your fortune. Look at the financial crisis, millions lost their jobs, their homes, their savings. People have even committed suicide or have mentally broken down as a result. What happened to stop it? What happened to fix it? To me it isn't about money anymore, we have a bunch of masochist running our society!
