Mofo Fly]Problem with that theory is as soon as you do that..
Show me a list of great medical achievements to come out of countries that have socialized health care.. go ahead & put together a list as best as you possibly can of world achievements in the medical world. I will bet that just UCLA Med ALONE will smash the world list of great achievements... Also I would like for you to footnote every single 'world' advancement that was based on the US already 'paving the way' - Again, I will bet dollars to donuts that just about anything anyone else has 'done' actually 'started' here in the US.

Maybe UCLA can smash the record, but I would argue this is because UCLA is a world leader in research and has a ton of funding from WHO. Not because of a free market health care system.
Credible source on this topic. I actually just happened to look this up recently because I was curious. US tops all in terms of medical research.
