Today, the U.S. is the undisputed leader in medical innovation, and our biopharmaceutical sector is the envy of the world.
U.S. inventors and companies account for more than 80 percent of the world?s biotech R&D. Each year, we test more potential new medicines than the rest of the world combined. In 2011 alone, the FDA approved two novel personalized medicines for lung cancer and melanoma, two breakthrough medicines for Hepatitis C, 11 new medicines for rare diseases, and the first new medicine for treating lupus in more than 50 years."
America is a country of haves and have-nots, no dispute there but even an American have-not lives a far better life than most of the world. Look how fat they are, where do you think that came from? And his smart phone, and his Internet, and his cable TV.
Here's a lovely postcard from the paradise of Serbia, I believe this is Belgrade. Which one of these shacks is yours?

your argument in a nutshell: "the super rich have access to fancy healthcare whilst medical bankruptcy is the #1 reason for personal bankruptcy in the USA"
if we want to go that way lets just say that Volkswagen makes the best cars in the world since they made the Bugatti Veyron and lets pretend everybody drives a Veyron and that Veyron is the standard in cars driven?
furthermore lets pretend that all other cars are useless compared to our imaginary veyron and that driving a 1.000.000$ veyron is the only way to go and if you drive a free BMW or Merc you are a total idiot
do you know how many people are medically bankrupt in my country? zero...my 3rd world shit hole ranks higher in healthcare than the USA according to western resources, according to Serb media we rank LAST in europe but we still outrank you guys, only slightly, but after 20 years of sanctions and all the wars thats not bad...
you guys have i-technology...its nothing special just like the i-phone and i-healthcare and i-education...its horribly over priced and, at best, just a fraction better than something somebody gets for free in the rest of the world...
look at real american products like cars...you are below standard compared to most western countries...your arrogance towards the rest of the world only makes you pay more for healthcare and education ect...
