"Controversial way that wouldn't fly in America" means "solving the actual problem, thus removing a source of income for big pharma/other corps".
My favorite example of this is tax reform: every time there is a sane proposal for tax reform in congress, companies like turbotax and H&R block lobby super heavily to have it stricken down, because their whole business model is based on tax law being complicated. Yet, Americans continue to support these companies, perpetuating the cycle. It doesn't get any more obvious than this.
Of course, this is all wrapped under the guise of freedom and personal responsibility. You're always free to choose jumping off the band wagon and getting run over by the train. If you don't, it is your choice! Don't blame the hard-working billionaries who drive the train!
