If Cancer and AIDS is "big business" is a conspiracy keeping them alive so drug companies can make money, I'd blame the FDA more than anything else. Drugs are 5-10 years behind where they should be because the approval process is so long and hamstrings drug companies.
That said, the libertarians are wildly against the FDA, I think that you simply can't allow drug companies to flood the market with drugs whose safety is unproven.
It would be like that Fight Club thing where they would just compare the revenue they could make from desperately sick people with the costs of settling lawsuits from x% of people who will die from taking it.
