Is there a way to take the taxpayer money being spent on medicine that&#x27;s priced high to recoup the research investment, and shift it to directly funding the research in the first place?<p>Obviously you&#x27;d have to spend a while funding both R&amp;D and Medicaid&#x2F;etc, while the new drugs are in development and the old ones are still under patent, and I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s other details I&#x27;ve missed, but it seems like there should be some way to make the system make more sense.
