How many links have I provided showing that every other Western country pays about half per capita what we do for healthcare and still covers everybody?

We essentially fund the entire R&D budget of the pharmaceutical industry because we do not impose price controls on prescription drugs and instead let the free market determine their price. All other mostly SOCIALIST governments SUBSIDIZE prescription drugs. We also allow doctors and surgeons to earn a healthy income. This provide real INCENTIVES for advancement in medical technology. If we adopted the policies of Western Europe kiss good bye to any real advancement in drug treatment or surgical techniques. That would be the END of medical advancement. As it is the United States is almost uniquely and solely responsible for the advancement of medical science, because we fund almost 100% of the research. Western Europe and the rest of world are nothing more that mooches

That is irrelevant, none of those other countries have the GDP of the US, which plays into US prices for healthcare. None of those other countries spend the amount that the US pays for medical R&D but those other countries benefit from our research without having to adsorb those costs. So to just assume if we adopt an UHC system that the government's cost for providing healthcare would drop is not supported by facts.

You beat me to the punch.....about R&D
Yes, Harvard Medical School is going to shut down if we have universal healthcare. Oh, please....
Read some of the links provided.
Ok and ??
Zoomie, the pharmacuetical industry spend far less on R&D than they do on marketing in the USA, alone.
As to the savings that single payer offers, about 25% of the cost of private health care is administrative costs and profits
Medicade/care runs their operations on about 2% admin costs. That's a whole lot of billions of dollars saved in aggregate with single payer HC.
I tell you these things despite my own reservations about that proposed system, incidently.
The system we have, simply is failing too many of us not to do something.
Below is a link to all the Nobel prize winners for medicine. Most came from universities in Europe and the United States, not Big Pharma....

Research only occurrs when the researchers have an expectation to get rich off the research. They don't GIVE A DAMN about saving humanity. They want MONEY. Deny them that and they will simply not even try.
You get that? If not, then you are too stupid to live.
Ugh!!!! It is the marketing of their most promising drugs that funds more research. Medical advancement happens the same way everything else does; when the creators of those advancements have a chance to GET RICH. These people DO NOT GIVE A DAMN about saving humanity....they WANT TO GET RICH by SAVING YOUR ASS from CANCER or whatever else ails you. It is HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS!!!!!!!
Got that?????????
