> Pharma companies are not charities and there's no reason to expect them to not try to make a profit.
It is nothing wrong to make a profit. It is a right thing to make a profit. But to make a profit by amoral means is wrong.
> The morality of charging money for health services is subjective.
It doesn't mean that we shouldn't take it into a consideration. Law enforcement might have trouble to deal with a subjective assessments, but we are not the law.
At the same time, I think we can agree on the amorality of the discussed practices, so it is not so subjective as it may seem. Moreover I believe that pharma might agree with us, if it stops for a second to think about morality, not just about profits.
