And the soul of medical industries are pharmaceuticals which are selling medicines on their price. Price of medicines is increasing day by day on the bases of there brand and usage, as sever the disease as high will be the treatment and medicines. They are selling the medicines at higher prices than the cost of its manufacturing. They brand them and advertise them so well and as this product is directly related to the health of them they don't bargain or argue for this.

Stopping this market is quite difficult because this is related to the beliefs of human in mass and they opt it easily because they don't want to hamper there health and life, but if the government makes some norms for the company who are selling these medicines to reduce its rate then it may possible to avail their benefits to all and lower their price.
