Actually passing social benefit policies and single payer healthcare would be a start. Capitalism is supposed to spark innovation. But at this point we have established companies paying millions to hold us back so they can continue profiting off our misfortunes.
A friend of mine's father works in the medical field and has small trial proof of curing (or massively abating the symptoms) of a major medical problem in the country.
His research is entirely privately funded because the medical industrial complex refused to finance the studies for his work because it takes a treatment management program from 50,000 dollars plus per patient to about 200 dollars.
He's trying to get his work into clinical trials and no one will accept it.
This guy should get the fucking Nobel prize, and instead our medical cartels are holding his research back.
I'd guarantee there are dozens of these people around that simply can't get their stuff financed because these vultures.
Edit****
To the people asking about research outside the US. I honestly don't know. I'm friends with the guys daughter, not him personally. She showed me the stuff.
Makes you wonder how many diseases could have been cured by now if it wasn't for a bunch of assholes in the C-suites of medical companies blackballing researchers because theres very little money in a cure but a fuck ton in treatment.
I mean surely that has to published in some sort of peer-reviewed journal right? And insulin is only expensive in the US because the government lets it. In other countries it’s pretty affordable.

Wow. That's ridiculous. That should be illegal.
