Goliad Pharmaceuticals bought a company that developed cures for hepititis B, C, and D. They proceeded to make a fortune by charging $80,000 per cycle for it in the US while citizens of poorer countries like India hardly paid anything. It's one example that supports Q's statement that the American citizen subsidizes the world.
But your point in general is still accurate. We should expect a better batting average from this industry, especially in cancer research.
When one of my closest friends was dying of cancer at age 39, he dedicated the final months of his life to promoting fundraising for cancer research. I encouraged others to donate on his behalf. But when it was my turn to donate, to my surprise, I could not follow through. I felt terrible, but I had to ask myself "What results have we seen from all these donations to cancer research? Why do they fundraise and ask for donations while they charge each patient's insurance $1 million?" I see the large luxury homes of the cancer researchers and their executives, but I don't see progress in the technology. I don't see the prices of this 50 year old chemo technology becoming more affordable, and oh yeah, why are we still relying on 50 year old chemo technology?
Meanwhile, high school kids are inventing cancer fighting techniques that these top-dollar research centers somehow failed to think of for decades.

Who knew that major breakthroughs in the world's most lethal disease were actually driven by children's curiosity rather than the intellectual horsepower of the millionaire Science Wizards we're supposed to never question?
I asked a coworker who just beat stage 3 colon cancer if I was morally wrong to not donate. He said "Hail naw!" and he agreed with me. He saw the grift while he was undergoing chemo. The only question anyone needs to ask is "Do I really think these people would kill their own golden goose if they actually discovered a cure?" Based on my observations, "Hail naw!"
