> then the US government gives it to the private sector, privatizing whatever medical advances were paid by tax-dollars.

This should be changed to

“Then the US government fails to fund the billions of dollars required for medicinal trials needed to get FDA approval”

No one is stopping the US government from doing all the necessary work to verify the medicines work and put them in the public domain.
