Sharkie,
BTW, "new technologies" and drugs are under patent and sold abroad to other countries using them. They don't get them for free.
They often get them at a steep discount to what we Americans have to pay.

If Americans got to pay the same prices for brand new drugs and medical technology, biotech innovation will suffer.

Many liberals are fine with that given that they think Big Pharma makes too much money, but they still haven't pointed out one country with universal health care that is a major innovator in medical technology. (Closest example I could think of is Switzerland, but they are dwarfed many times over by America.)
