Or, you know, increase public funding for research...

  It seems to me that plenty of publicly funded research ends up simply pushing ideas which are subsequently developed and patented by companies. Perhaps I misread the situation, but that doesn't seem like it's in our best interests

    That's why public funding should be directed at under-funded areas, like "processes and drugs that are not patentable".

  Or, improve the independence and targeting of the research. For instance, having medical groups, patients associations, etc of X disease invest in research for X through crowdfunding. Experiment [0] looks like a good example/PoC for this. [0] https://experiment.com/ https://experiment.com/
