There's more than one government. Since, afterall, there's more than one country. International pharmaceutical corporations (thankfully) don't rely exclusively on the USA for funding. The USA isn't everyone's rich uncle. And at the moment we're more "that rich, greedy, eccentric, not-very-bright third cousin whose mother was dumb enough to marry her own brother."
