I don&#x27;t think anyone is arguing only Big Pharma creates new cures.  In fact, most big pharma companies acquire smaller companies for their drugs.<p>That said, I don&#x27;t disagree that money is the only motivator.  However, good intentions aren&#x27;t enough to develop a new drug.  It takes a hell of a lot of money as well.<p>If you don&#x27;t create incentives for private investment, then you need to get that money somewhere else.
