In the world we live in today we have many medicines that treat illness (no cures, but treatments), and the major parties involved in medical research are large pharmaceutical companies, which sell these treatments to make their money. And use the money to find more treatments (which they can charge more people for, and therefore make more money)

Now heres where the catch comes in, these companies make treatments not cures, they do this because treating you is more profitable than curing you. If got cured then you wouldn't need to buy anymore medicine, then the pharmaceutical companies would get your money. They keep one step ahead making sure that once one medicine becomes ineffective they have one that is equally effective, not better.

If medicine research is left to capitalist corporation, then we will never find a cure for anything because it wouldn't be profitable. Research instead should be done by an organization that will benefit from curing people, without receiving any benefit from developing a treatment. If pharmaceutical companies worked to cure disease instead of treating it we probably would be alot more healthy than we are today.
