I'm not sure what B has to do with A.

Especially since most of B would be recycled right back into the country since most health care is mostly domestic. Or i'd think so anyway.

Unless your arguing the fact that we spend so much money on health care gives people in the US more incentive to develop new and pricey health care treatments. That's probably true.

 

Even still... the differential in medical research is FAR greater then the differential in healthcare spending.

The second chart was just an afterthought to be honest. I came across it when looking for the first one and thought it would be relevant so I posted it. The point was that the USA spends a larger percentage of their GDP on healthcare and medicine and so investing in medical research would be a natural progression from this.
