None of its false. You've never been to Europe. You've never used their system. How can you possibly expound on an issue where you only have half the info.


You don't know where I've been or not been you dolt.


The key to what you say up above is that we have the capital structure because of our greater size and wealth to fund more research than other countries. That too won't change under reform.


Our system of capital formation depends on being able to sustain a ROI. If you cut the throats of health-care related companies the innovation will dry up.

If you, as Obama suggested, reduce the length of patents to 7 years, same effect -- drug companies will be that much less motivated to innovate.

Tinkering with this system is a very dangerous thing, and people realize it, and that is why they have insisted on putting the brakes on the liberals.
