Socialized medicine is just one part of those social programs Europeans get to enjoy because they sit back and let the American taxpayers fund their protection.
American consumers pay full price either directly, or indirectly through private insurance, to fund the develop of new drugs. Then those drugs are sold at heavily discounted prices to countries with socialized medicine. That's just part of capitalism too...drug companies giving bulk prices. I'm okay with that. But what irks me is that people in those same countries with their beloved socialized medicine wouldn't even have access to those drugs if it weren't for the US system of private health insurance and yet they have the gall to criticize our system which basically subsidizes theirs.
The drugs are not sold at "heavily discounted prices" they are sold at the correct prices. What you have in America is a system where people charge lots of money for drugs that can be cheaply made and the research has long been paid for.
Your health care system in no way subsidises ours it is just the worlds worst, made for the sake of scamming ill people and you seem ok with that.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
