The more serious question here is how do you make cures more attractive compared to chronic treatments.
Maybe we need to start paying for cures like we do chronic treatments?

maybe the profit motive is a perverse incentive for taking care of people.
Maybe. But I don't think there are any alternatives right now. And it doesn't seem like a bad for people helping others to be rewarded...
There definitely are. State run pharma agencies that compete against the private companies and stringent IP restrictions on treatments VS cures can help.
Ultimately you're never going to be able to coax the market into valuing 40+ years of rent over a cure.
