I think perspective is important here.

I'm alive because pharma developed an expensive drug that, at the time I got it, was only administered to 42 others before me.

I was a single person working my first job out of college with Blue Cross Blue Shield and got the best I think was available.

You might be jaded after working so long in a difficult industry; the medical research/pharma work done matters to the patients who receive it and get another decade+ of good life.

im glad for you and every single patient that benefits from something i work on. From the public health angle of most eu countries investment into novel cancer treatments makes a lot less sense that improving prevention.
