I'll never understand the anti medicine POV from some of the rich. Even if you want the best possible medical care all to yourself, you still need a fucking shitload of guinea pigs to know all possible effects of medicine. All kinds, not just whatever happens to ail them at a given point. What heals most can kill some, and you need data to know the difference to find out why

Sure you will. Just look at their investments and what businesses they have stakes in.

It's a lot more pricy to perpetually treat people for symptoms than to cure the of the underlying cause, and when the healthcare system is "pay up or die," the odds are that they'll make a tidy profit.
