Without cancer, diabetes, or heart diease, such organizations and their officers would be out of their jobs and salaries.
It's no wonder that very little of their money goes to actual research looking for real cures.
Good point.Unfortunately when organizations get this large($$$$)the tendency is to employ a lot of HIGHLY paid execs(lawyers,PR,accountants,etc)that have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.Also lots of administrative layers with lots of assistants doing lots of busy work.Finding a cure becomes secondary to maintaining a comfortable and secure lifestyle.
