Agreed. This kind of spin sometimes does more harm than good. Not that there's any doubt that greed and corruption play a big role too -- but there are many, many more factors. Hell, I wish it were simply a matter of one big "pharma conspiracy". That would be an easy problem to solve. The reality is paralyzing in its complexity, as with all issues that plague large political systems. And as our technology and means of communication advance at a faster and faster rate, it only becomes more evident how far being we are in understanding "social tech", and how intractable some of these problems are currently. We are nowhere near close to being able to tackle problems in the domain of complex social systems.
