Because it's impossible to "cure" a disease as a whole when there are people not using modern medicine for whatever reason (be it poverty, unwillingness, ignorance, unnoticed infections, whatever).
Many, many individuals have been cured of diseases because of modern medicine, however, and several diseases have been eradicated or have been severely lessened in the western world, while many other diseases are being prevented.

Many millions of lives have been saved because of antibiotics. Yes, there are new strains of bacteria evolving all the time, and scientists are working on new ways to fight them.
Blaming modern medicine for not finding a "cure all" solution is about as stupid as possible.

And here you really show your stupidity, ignorance and blindness. Many, many people live good, healthy lives because of modern medicine that they wouldn't have had otherwise. Hell, I am one of them. As are quite a few family members of mine. And friends. And random people I meet. In fact, *millions* of people.
There isn't more disease now than ever, and most diseases that we have can be either cured or don't have to be deadly anymore.
