But in terms of actually delivering the novel compounds, the US biotech industry seems to be an incredible driver of health care innovation.

So, the US provides a ton of basic research, which is helpful but at the bottom line it is evil capitalism and greed that leads to the real discoveries.

What a surprise.

In case you're wondering, the league tables look like this: the US leads in the discovery of approved drugs, by a wide margin (118 out of the 252 drugs).

And how many of the other 134 would have been developed if it wasn't for the US market?
