“America's lucrative drug market funds research which allows the rest of the world to benefit at no cost to them.”

I think it’s more likely that it funds higher profits for the companies and all the middlemen. This is just self serving propaganda by the pharmaceutical companies.

I think you’re misreading my comment. Obviously the drug companies aren’t doing this with good intentions for poorer countries, but it is a byproduct effect.

Personally I think the main byproduct is higher profits, not more research.
