I don't look forward to this day.

What many people don't realize is that the majority of new medicine is patented and created in the US. Once it's released, governments that have socialized health care create generics and get around these costs, mostly because they don't have to put any money into R&D.

The world of medicine will be in trouble without our system, because govetnments are really not that good at innovation.

Socialized medicine is great for simple checkups, but breaks down as you get older and need major surgery.

I really don't want the government making these life or death decisions.
