Maybe the US government should be involved in drug research, then?
Because either a corporation is doing the research or the government is.
(If there's another alternative I'm overlooking, please mention it.)
Corporations doing research using money from Federal grants is different
to either of those scenarios, and fairly common outside the US - I would
have thought it was common in the US as well. This is where patent laws
get tricky - who should derive the future benefit of the research, and
for how long...
