Answer:

because of profiteering

Explanation:

One of the major issues in the pharmaceutical industries is the lack of proper regulatory structures to monitor the drug manufacture, movement, and distributions. As are result, some drugs, like opioids, find their way to people who do not really need them. One factor in the problem is the money issue. The big drug companies easily use their money to pay their way to the court and defend themselves. Even when the licence fees are high, they still manage to get away with it. This, in turn puts them at a vantage point. The doctors, on the other hand, misinform patients. As a result, the patients take these drugs unknowingly.
