There's nothing wrong with the drugs these companies are developing.
But stopping production or halting research in curing diseases, just because it isn't as "profitable" as selling drugs to treat the symptoms rather than the disease. That's insane.
Selling drugs at insane markups, when it's very clear they cost far less in the EU, and they still earn ton of money. That's insane.
Patent medicin to keep it out of the hands of sick people, because your other not-as-good drug sells better. That's insane.
