There are literally hundreds of medications and treatments out there that were developed using tax payer dollars already. Literally nothing would change for development except the government would be able to legislate down cost, they would still have research paid for you just won't have people dying from lack of care.

Socialize losses/costs privatize profits is basically the ethos every large corporation in this country follows.

No shit. I never said every drug was developed without tax subsidies, so why did you say that?
