They ought to be going after drug manufacturers directly and forcing them to publish 100% of their research on every new drug they create. They should also incentivize finding off-label uses for existing cheap generic drugs, and disincentivize repackaging technically-distinct versions of old drugs as soon as the generics pop up. There is a lot of room for improvement in this whole sector, and this isn't where it is.

Well its definitely one of the places. Not saying pharma is innocent but there are an awful lot of middlemen leeching on the system. Not just in drugs or healthcare but the US in general
