I'm only easily finding numbers from 2016 and 2017 so things may have changed.

Of $160ish billion spent on medical r&d, $90ish billion is coming from other sources than the government for those years. Even if it's quite a bit less than that now, it's still a very sizable portion and more than most other countries spend. Point is that it's still pretty significant no matter what the exact numbers are.

Federal funding is likely down if anything. This chart breaks the rest of those sources down to show how much remains corporate. It's not the majority. I was on a University grant in the US (comes from tuition dollars). Now I'm funded by the Japanese government (but they provide a much higher percentage of funding than the US does). My point is merely that for-profit organizations are not providing the majority of research funding.
