I am sure you are not implying that the US is the only country to be innovative when it comes to medicine.
Of course our health care system is possible minus the US healthcare system. Are you implying that we rely on you when our care isn't enough, or am I misunderstanding? I have yet to have any member of my immediate or extended family ever seek any type of medical treatment outside of Canada.
while i don't agree with INDY, the argument being put forth is that the vast majority of health care advances and innovations come from the US. many of the drugs and procedures you enjoy were developed and perfected here, and that the best and the brightest -- from all over the world, though much talent is homegrown -- are attracted to the US because there are big profits to be made on the health care system. that profit is a motivator and innovator.
i think that's problematic in many ways, but it's not totally incorrect.
there's a reason the Mayo Clinic is in the US.
