You're absolutely right, obviously.
And I'm sure that if your children developed some terrible illness, you wouldn't want to use any pharmaceuticals to keep them alive longer, because - as you say - the disease might get them in the end anyway.
"Stuff that makes you not die" is, as you point out, obviously worthless to everyone.
Not that I don't like being healthy, but the new pharamaceuticals are just stuff that makes you not die, rather than cure the disease and it is developed only because the patent on the old stuff is on the verge on running out.
A better way would be by removing all the nonessential regulation that makes such medicine so bloody expensive in the first place.
