To Americans, pharmaceutical healthcare is nothing but dollars. Eliminating human need is an attack on US billionaires and their exploitive profits.
The "insulin industry" is particularly disgusting when you realize that when Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1923, he refused to put his name on the patent because he felt it was unethical for a doctor to profit from a discovery that would save lives, so Banting’s co-inventors, James Collip and Charles Best, sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for a mere $1 since they wanted everyone who needed their medication to be able to afford it.
Americans profiteers then went on to patent every method of manufacturing this "free invention" for their own profit.
