You couldn't have cited a worst example.

A multi trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry that is killing people left and right with bad drugs and they do it knowingly! Doctors prescribe drugs as "treatments" - they don't try to "cure" anything anymore.

Follow the money is perfectly applicable in the healthcare field. Radiology, chemotherapy and magnetic imaging are the staples of hospitals tools to bilk the insurance companies because they are bilked by a government which makes them unable to refuse treatment to anyone.

100 years later and no cure for "the big C" and big pharm (& big farm!) have let bacterial pathogens become superbugs by failing to regulate antibiotic usage.

And now we have super bacteria, super fungi and all sorts of things in our food supply and hospitals that can kill people.

Follow the money has been a good rule of thumb in every civilization - going back into ancient times.
