What is important is healthcare research per capita as that gives you an unbiased representation.

Have you looked into that?

The fact is... I would NOT like to be sick and in the USA. - In my own country however... My healthcare is covered by a universal system, has a higher quality level of care, we have longer life expectancy, lower mortality rates and so on.
In-fact... We just had a new high-tech hostpital open up which actually has robots deliver linen, equipment, automated-labs that test for blood and so on.

So despite the fact that your healthcare system spends a catastrophic amount on R&D... Where is the benefit to the actual people? People still die younger and more often.

Even after adjusting per capita, america STILL destroys every other nation. Not even all of Europe combined together can come close to matching US innovations in medical science ... (the US holds the most amount of clinical trials in the world for a reason) 

No other healthcare systems can work for americans since they also consume the the most amount of healthcare services too so americans pay more because they *WANT* the best available treatments possible ... (heck they don't even want treatments, they want a panacea for crying out loud) 

While the quality of care maybe lower the benefit is having leading edge options for a brighter future ... (no other nation has approved any CAR-T cell therapies while the US FDA has already approved two under trade names such as Kymriah and Yescarta) 

It's ironic how the rest of the world chides america for being so backwards yet it is america who is footing the bill for their future ... (the rest of the world wouldn't be so much of a burden if they spent as much effort as the US in medical research and we'd already have a cure for a good portion of chronic conditions)

False.

I suggest you look into the Netflix throttling debacle a few years back.

The internet providers didn't advertise the fact they were throttling... And they essentially blackmailed Netflix, customers of course suffered due to the white collar shenanigans.

They said it was just a network optimization test ... (they are covered under "network management")

Can't always expect the internet to work even in the most extreme of cases plus it only affected some users in the end ... 

I think your overreacting about a maintenance issue to compared it with lootboxes ...
