Opinions - Impeding the cure for AIDS?

[BobTheGreat]

Not sure about all countries but in the US we have an arrangement with Africa to provide them with all AIDS meds at cost. This sounds great but drug companies are businesses. Their main goal is to make as much money as possible. Say some researcher comes up with a promising cure/new treatment method. The head of research will most likely skip over it since the government would make them make the new drug at cost. They can then use those facilites to research and manufacture drugs that make them money.

Just wanted to know how other DF members felt about this.
