I believe that there are a lot of people in medicine and in medical research that are motivated by more than just profit. Motivation to make a profit does not rule out other more altruistic motives, either.

Making a profit is not evil. Sometimes I get the impression from things I read here that a lot of folks see it that way.
Profit is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

Destroying other people's health for profit is sick.

Determining profit when there is public money involved is a fuzzy area.

Sometime motivation to make a profit does rule out altruistic motives.
