To me, the concern is that like Wall Street and big agriculture, the pharmaceutical industry writes its own rules and regulations so at some point we cross the line from public health to public purse with little regard for unexpected consequences (like maybe increasing rates of autoimmune disease) which the Feds will indemnify them for anyway. Its corporate capitalism at its finest. The balance may not be as clear as individual vs group. It may be individual vs industry vs group. That extra component may have little to do with public health.
