Private prisons account for less than 5% of the prisoners in the U.S. Private prisons are used because they are cheaper than public prisons and save taxpayer dollars.
CPS children are not sold into prostitution or slavery. They are put into foster care which, unfortunately, is not ideal. Calling it slavery, however, is simply bullshit.

He does have a point. They spend a good deal to do a lot of interesting research. Does that justify screwing Americans, though? They charge waaaaay more in the US for the same thing than they do in every other country. I won't begrudge any business making a profit, but I dunno....

Conspiracy nuts aside...
Industry does drive innovation. This is both good and bad. I've worked for the pharma industry and in academia doing pretty much the same things but industry was able to do pretty much what they want, when they wanted it because they just had TONS of capital. Also the sheer speed of development was unreal in industry. Think of the Manhattan Project when the government pretty much gathered the best and brightest and wrote them a blank check and they were able to do something seemingly unfathomable in such a short amount of time...that's kinda how industry is...except they make their own checks. A large NIH or DOE grant for us, and I mean huge...like, they don't normally do things like this...was $130M. We didn't get it though, and there's certainly not that much NIH money to give to multiple programs to do significant research. Industry, however, has multiple entities with much more money than that to spend on new research which is a HUGE innovation driver.
The other side of the sword is that research needs to be directed at something that can possibly make them money. Those things aren't always the things that are going to further health and well-being in society but that's not their prerogative and it shouldn't be. It used to bother me but when I see the processes and actual useful shit that industry produces as a result of making something that's marketable...its worth it.
I can't talk for healthcare too much...although I will tell you it costs $1B to push a drug through to market given all the stuff the FDA makes a new drug candidate go through. Add on to the fact that patent protection runs out after 20 years and the whole approval process usually takes 12...they need a blockbuster drug or their going to pass the cost. They pass the cost to US consumers because no one is advocating for lower prices. Sure, the consumers are "demanding" lower prices but we all get our insurance through companies who really don't give a fuck because they just pass the cost to us. Other countries with things like single-payer (just an example, not touting anything here) just don't put up with that shit. And if the only payer in the country (aka the govt) won't buy your drugs unless their below a certain prices...well, you gotta drop your price.

Come at me
I dont hate on them for what they do to HELP the world such as creating new medicines not existing in nature.
I hate big PHARM for creating their medicines around trating symptoms and not caring about side effects as that just helps sell more medicine in cocktail form.
If big PHARM did find a cure for cancer in its research it would no doubt choose to NEVER market it. Cured people dont make you money.

Do you think Big Pharma is one company that colludes to decide what they can and cannot make money on collectively. If I'm Phizer and I find a cure for cancer I am not going to ask Merck how much they'll pay me to keep it quiet, which will result in criminal prosecution should I attempt it. I am going to make giant bank on the cure. You have absolutely no fucking idea how competition works, do you?

Markets for individual cancers can reach up into the tens of billions annually. So you could imagine what an actual cure for cancer could be worth. No drug company is going to participate in a conspiracy and just sit on that potential profit. Marketing a cure for cancer would catapult a drug companies annual revenue through the roof. Almost everyone gets cancer, marketing a product that almost everyone would use is a big deal. Not to mention the all the scientists that worked on the cure, who would never keep quiet about a career booster like that. If I helped develop a cure, they would literally have to kill me to prevent me from sharing the results, collecting my Nobel, and securing my place in the history books.

LOL wrong, they already have a cure many cures for cancer, it's just that the government suppresses it b/c they aren't in it for the money, there in it for the Eugenics, and the cleansing of the society of undesirables. That is the reason why they poison our air with chemtrails, and poison our food with MSG, Aspartame, Fluoride, Genetically Modified Organisms. While they have you in there hospital and Healthcare system, they also feed off our taxes, while they are the people that print the paper money. While they feed off our children, they send our other children in war's for corporations.
They don't care about you, b/c it's all about Eugenics.

I guess I just don't understand the logic. You argue the government suppresses cures for cancer that already exist, but the NIH shells out billions and billions each year in cancer based research grants. Thats a pretty expensive facade.

Hemp cures cancer, certain radio-frequency waves at a certain pitch cures cancer, vitamin B-17 cures cancer, there are many, many cures for cancer..... The government has known all this since the 1960's, but the cancer growth, medication and treatments and eventual death is what profits them the most.

Enlil said: I don't know what country you live in, but in the U.S., pharmaceutical companies don't force people to take their drugs. Doctors don't force people to take drugs, either.
People want a pill to cure every ailment, so the pharmaceutical companies develop them. If people didn't want to find a way to get an erection through chemistry, there wouldn't be so many "male enhancement" drugs.
Blaming the pharmaceutical companies for making drugs is like blaming oil companies for all of the carbon you're spewing into the air with your car.
They don't force them but they manufacture them addictive due to the nature of mans depression. I don't think this is the most humane way to synthesize drugs, looking at Shulgin and his experiments alone makes me question the validity of the pharma industry, they make money and that's what matters. Blame the masses.

lol they make them purposefully as addictive as possible to get the person hooked like Xnanex, Adderal or Oxycontin or...... ect, ect. What ever the drug may be. They are very very addictive, and very dangerous, the commercials for all the drug commercials say it may make commit aggressive actions, black out or even commit suicide, even Chantix for smoking.
