I think many government officials in the US and in other countries also receive funding from Big Pharma.

Drs get kick backs for prescribing certain drugs.

Oh yes, big time. I've seen it! In a doctor's office when the drug rep is there, asking the doctor what he wants this year, a trip to Hawaii, opera tickets, etc. And the doctor's wife is all smiles, contemplating their "gift!" Another time, a receptionist told me that the entire - very large - office got a free catered lunch every day, thanks to different drug companies. And that's what I can remember right now, but there is more, much more. Nonprofit organizations are also bribed. That is the word, after all. The briber and the bribee are guilty as sin.
