What are all of the new breakthrough miracle drugs and medicines coming from this list? What are the new and innovative medical devices being rolled out? How much money do these countries spend on R&D? Do you think the cost per person for medical care and healthcare would rise if those countries spent that R&D money? Do you think the best and brightest from these countries go into medicine if they know the government will control their earnings forcing them to live on an average working wage, or do they come to America to get their education and open their practices here to pursue the American dream?
