Pharmaceutical patents are insanely harmful to the average consumer, at least in the US.

That's more of a US problem than it is a pharmaceutical patents problem.

Only the rich and powerful or those willing to go deeply into debt are able to benefit from all of that extra research.

Only they are able to benefit from that research at first. Which is how it's always been, new things are rare and expensive at first and become cheaper and more common over time.
