Do they find it amusing that the American system of health care has given them most of the innovations in medicine they have seen in their own countries over the last 50 years? Often at little or no cost to THEIR countries?

You think just about everything is invented here? Where is your proof??

Are they concerned that if we stop innovating their own health care will be adversely affected by it? Do they realize that if America adopts a system similar to theirs the innovation will slow and that the entire world will suffer as a result?

Do they comprehend that when the US innovates their is a cost associated with it and if we stop paying that cost then either the innovation will slow or they will have to chip in?

Why do we pay so much more for drugs here (two to three times) as other countries??

Do they comprehend that when the US innovates their is a cost associated with it and if we stop paying that cost then either the innovation will slow or they will have to chip in?

The rest of the western world is doing just fine without us for one half to one third the cost we pay here.

Being 37th in the world for healthcare here is nothing to brag about.. Many third world countries take better care of their citizens better than we do!

"As we say in the film, the World Health Organization studied every health care system on earth and rated the world's richest country 37th in terms of quality and fairness."
