I don't agree that federal funding for medical research is a bad thing. Private investment as a sole source of medical research can lead only in directions private enterprise may deem "most profitable", and not necessarily in the broader public good

I would certainly enjoy reading about a medicaL discovery that is IN the broader public good, yet has no profit potential.

I would also be interested in these other generous countries and if they provide the money without some agreement for payment if successful or if they perform the research themselves, do they sell the results.

I have noted many of these generous countries have yet to make good on their Tsunami Relief pledges. The USA of coyurse has done that, but was ridiculed by the left for not providing enough. It seems we provided more than any other country.
