This is false.

Its disingenuous to suggest that a pharmaceutical company wouldn't put a bad product on the market because they know that any resulting deaths could damage them. Big companies take calculated risks; they have actuaries that help them decide how far to go in terms of potential losses based on product malfunctions.The problem with our politicians isn't so much that they love businesses that don't make any money, but rather that they are in the pockets of businesses that make enough money to quietly fund reelection campaigns - and that goes as much for the Democrats as anyone else.
