__Expand to see INDEX__ For years, drug companies (pharmaceuticals AKA Big Pharma) have been taking the public for a costly ride and making a killing in the process -- seriously, a lot of people are dying as a result.

But it doesn't stop there: With so much profit potential glistening in their eyes, these companies have little incentive to provide cures.
