And what country in the world is responsible for the most advancement in medical care? the US

The biggest problems with US healthcare are the wrong regulations, and lack of competitiveness among health insurers. Followed up by Americans using more medicine than is needed since they watch commercials that tell them they need prescription drugs

 

That is extremely shocking, the Western Country with nearly triple the population of the next largest western country has made the most advancements in Medical Care, I can't believe it, Next you'll be saying they've made more advancements than any other country in physics or warfare or tech.

I'm pretty sure Lichtenstein would have the USA beat in some field of research

More than europe combined. You guys are already being passed up by the chinese and the Indians. And yes more in warefare as well.
