I think it's the opposite. I think people are very aware of those effects, and that's actually why they ask the question in the first place.
They ask it "is this good business" not just because they care about the answer itself but because they want to start a debate on how society should promote the invention of cures.
Like I think most people in most industries are passionate people that really want to do good, but they do need to eat too.
Do you believe the current medical research is held back by the price limitations and if we just infuse more money, we'll find cure for many more diseases ?
Even if we consider that, we'll reach the same position as today because if only rich can afford medicine, the market will price that in and it's customer who can barely afford the medicine will shift from middle class to upper middle class and so on.
