This by way of implication that countries with universal healthcare don't have any R&D, have never invented anything or discovered anything and should be grateful for the crumbs America throw out.
No implication has been made. I pointed out a UK research firm in my comments as a cutting edge actor. The only implication being made is the one suggested by your bruised ego.
The facts in my post stand. Care to interact with those?
Here they are:
The American system produces:
2/3 of the Nobel Prize winners for Medicine.
75% of the global R&D.
The lion's share of new pharmas and therapies.
We pay for this, but you do in fact get the benefits. These are a major export.
