No massive amount come from the private sector. Almost all the money used to get a hypothetically effective drug through the approval and trial process is private.

This is why certain drugs don't get developed anymore - if it's a naturally occurring substance that can't be patented, nobody's gonna foot the gallion-dollar bill to go through trials.
