31. One supposes that no one anywhere in the industry has any loved ones

None, at least, who've ever suffered illness.

The assertion that the medical industry is deliberately choosing not to cure cancer strikes me as myopic and untenable.

Rather cold-blooded of them to say "Yes, I'd like my child to die of leukemia so that I can make another boat payment." I mean, in this history of modern cancer treatment, has no member of the medical industry ever lost a child and then subsequently broken ranks to go public to blow the lid off of this conspiracy?

Believe me, I sympathize, and I frankly have very similar ideas about dentistry. Also, the criminally astronomical prices inflicted by the pharmaceutical industry are grossly immoral but not, in themselves, proof of an effort to avoid curing illness.
