There is much to criticize about medicine and pharma, especially big pharma dinosaurs. We all know what happened to the dinosaurs. Still it is not all bad. The life span of a US citizen is roughly 74 male, 78 female. Last century it was probably around 50. In some of the world today it is actually a lot less than 50 years.
Anyone over 18 is free to toss the medicine cabinent contents, tear up the HMO card, and diligently avoid the health care system. Just don't plan on living all that long.
