Really great post.

I would point out that the United States also effectively subsidizes other countries because we are paying for drug R&D where other countries (like Canada) are able to get the same drugs paying only for the variable costs of production plus a small increment.

If we (US) weren't spending the money to advanced R&D their costs would be substantially higher. NOwhere is this more apparent than with chemo drugs, which can run thousands of dollars per dose and for which major clinical trials programs are conducted in the US at cost to the drug companies.
