No one is forcing you to buy anything. You don't have to buy the anti-dehydration pill if you don't want to.
So the evil corporations don't want to find cures so they can sell remedies? That means there is a market for cures. You are very welcome to try to find cures for the diseases. If you do, you can put them out of business for good. No one is stopping you. Go ahead and try.
The bottom line of corporations is good for the nation. It motivates people to do things.
What do you do for a living? Do you make more money than what is absolutely necessary to keep yourself alive? What do you do with that extra money? Do you donate it to people looking for cures?

1) RIIIIIGGGHHT. Apple and yahoo have been eating up other companies for the total monopoly/market share. Yeah sure.
2) The companies you are defending are investing billions in advertising to show you that only their product works. At the same time these companies are actively limiting your ability to chose other products.
3) If you or I found a cure, the pharmaceutical companies would never allow the FDA to test/ approve it and thus the cure would never gain acceptance. That is the nature/politics/power of big money.
4) What do I do for a living? I improve people's lives. What I do not do is profit from people's poor health and try to keep them in poor health to protect my profits.
