We actually put in mroe money then the rest of the world combined. We may lose a lot of new healthcare discoveries because of regulating or socializing our healthcare system. |
The thing is Kasz, take a wild guess who puts the majority of money into medical research? The Government does already. Most medical advances and techniques are found in state run universities when it comes to breakthroughs. Health Insurance companies aren't the ones funding that. The same goes for pharmaceutical research. Universities that get government grants are the ones that discover a use for a medicine and then give the rights to the pharma companies to research and test them to make sure they are ready for FDA approval. The bulk of the costs is taken by already being paid for by those at the Universities. Plenty of advances have come out of Canada and the UK which have universal or Socialized medicine.
I honestly don't believe that we'll lose many if any health care discoveries. All we should be focused on it making sure that health care is affordable and covers everyone. That will drive down costs for everyone in the US.
Right now, my health care costs me approximately 10% of my monthly income. That's far too high if you ask me.
