Are you saying it's just Pharma?

To be honest, Cancer reflects more than one concern at play. Cancer is the product of bad lifestyle, bad environment, and stress. All of these have for-profit entities pushing for their self-concerns and using whatever means necessary to preserve their profit.

Insurance too also plays into this given their strong reactive and arbitrary stances to treatment.

Cancer is an output of many things, many of which are preventable. Cancer, once it happens, is often treatable with minimal effects if caught early and treated appropriately. All of this take priority.
