> Blocking pharma ads would help a lot as well.

I don't really see how blocking ads for things help, I also think they serve a really valuable purpose. IME Doctors are so stuck in their first decade of work (CE programs are mostly a joke) that there actually needs to be a forcing function to get them to learn about new drugs. If they start irresponsibly prescribing drugs then that's not the fault of a company advertising drugs that have gone through the most rigorous approval process that exists in the world.

There are pharma reps all over doctors offices. They're definitely aware.

People are generally over medicated and the drug pricing has nothing to do with actual costs for either research or production. Similarly for advertising highly processed "food".
