I don't think anyone is arguing only Big Pharma creates new cures. In fact, most big pharma companies acquire smaller companies for their drugs.

That said, I don't disagree that money is the only motivator. However, good intentions aren't enough to develop a new drug. It takes a hell of a lot of money as well.

If you don't create incentives for private investment, then you need to get that money somewhere else.
