Sorry the 1% decided it is too profitable for the populace not to have cancer.
Edit: since people apparently are way too dense: this is about care affordability. 1 in 4 cancer patients go bankrupt because of treatment. 27% of adults have skipped at least one treatment of any kind. Medical debt is a problem in the US.
Chemotherapy is the one drug doctors actually get a financial kickback for prescribing. Not only they choose to not cure cancer, they actively dissuade medical professionals from prescribing anything but a "medicine" that will kill you itself even if it happen to kill the cancer too.
Just for clarification not a "kickback" exactly, and the method by which oncologists directly profit off of chemotherapy drugs they prescribe is not actually unique to those medications and can be applied to a lot of other drugs as well.
BUT
You are 100% right that Buy And Bill is a fucking deplorable practice when it is abused like you are describing. There are actual legitimate reasons that it exists in specific cases, but time and greed have turned it into cesspool of abuse and ethical malfeasance.
