I'm sure that there are lots of people who work for the drug companies that really want to improve people's lives. Many of them were probably started with that in mind. However, modern capitalism is such a corrupting influence that it can overwhelm the good that companies do. When the ultimate goal is maximizing profits, other laudable goals fall by the wayside. When the company places a priority on making a new patent rather than making a new drug, it is no longer in the business of improving lives, it is in the business of making money.
