pow_pow~if you had subsidised healthcare it would mean your government pays the difference for your $700 saline bags. therefore your developments would go unhindered.
lol. You don't even understand what he's saying.
Ill make his argument easier for you to understand.
The only reason developments happen is to create profit. Our government does basically nill in research and develop medicine and healthcare technology. (supposedly)
The companies are seeking to get a normal, fair return on their investment in developing the healthcare, so they go, "Hey world, how would you like to pay this price for all this life saving tech we just made???!??
World replies, "Yes we'd like it, but we have government funded healthcare and can't afford the prices that would actually give you a decent profit and incentive to develop new tech, but you should sell it to us cheap anyways or all our people will be sick."
Company than says, "Well shit, if thats the only option, deal.No profits from anyone. We need to make enough money to keep making this shit, where can we make up our losses? Oh thats right, America! We can charge the insurance industry and in turn the patients to keep funding our research and development for the whole world"
He is saying if we adopted a government run healthcare system, we too would fall into the group that can't pay a profitable price for medicine, stalling development for the entire world.
