And the prices these big pharmaceutical companies get to extort people for are absurd too, given how much federal funding goes toward these studies and how little they pay the researchers making these breakthroughs (instead to line the pockets of the board of directors)

The president could stop that. The Bath-Dole Act gives the govt. "marching rights," meaning that any drug company taking taxpayer money to develop a drug (which means pretty much any drug now) can be forced not to price gauge.
