I am not saying that there isn't R&D for curing such diseases, but the focus is more on treatment vs. cure. Why cure someone who is a 'lifetime' member?
I'm a diabetic and thus, I am a lifetime member and must 'subscribe' to these pharm-d companies. Would be nice if they could focus on a cure more...

This isn't totally true... There is plenty of money to be made in a "Cure". It would not be cheap and it would not be a one whack deal most likely.
Tobra is spot on about cancer though. It varies greatly, and a blanket cure all isn't really possible.
