So people don't attempt to acquire cures to such things as cancer out of something like...sympathy, humanity or even respect?

It's not coincidence that the US has most of the best drug companies located here.

Of course we do, they can overcharge for drugs and keep it only to themselves, which means ZERO competition while also nobody is getting any help.

What you are advocating would destroy any motive to take any risk to create new drugs, and far more people would die as a result.

Again, I must ask if you can offer up the cost for creation of a drug in comparison to the cost attached to the purchasing of the drug at a store. If you can't, then you can not say it would "destroy any motive" when you're talking about a financial one, since you don't know exactly how much money they're currently making off of their drugs already out there.

Try to see past your greed, hatred, and jealousy of those who are successful making a living saving people's lives.

Making a living saving people's lives? Tell that to the people who aren't able to afford drugs that would otherwise save them, or able to handle the costs on drugs as well as bills such as heating and electricity.
But yeah..we'll say they're "saving lives" when it costs tons of money if you're horribly ill, and as such you can't afford it.
