The myths of high cost healthcare

[Bomboozle]

Objection your honor, speculation.

This is a report by the issued by the US Patent Office on prolific inventors for the period 1988 to 1997. The country of residence of the inventor is shown. Also shown is the corporation which received an assignment of the patent. Lots and lots of German and Japanese companies are getting US patents and assigning those patents to large biotech corporations. In fact, more than half of these "prolific inventors" are resident somewhere outside the US.

What is your point about inventors and residency? Also, I don't see the connection you are making between "prolific inventors" and the time period 1988 to 1997. Inventions, not inventors, are granted protection from various organizations that govern different geographical regions when a patent issues; the USPTO is only one of many such organizations. So your comment about prolific inventors living outside the US is nonsensical.

dear, patents speak for themselves! We have 4% of world population and 70% of recent medical patents! Anyway you look at the USA creates the medical care on this planet, and we do a damn good job!!

Eddie, you really are too dumb to be one person. More than half of all medical patents issued in the United States, are issued to "inventor's" in other countries - Germany and Japan hold a lot of them. They apply for patents in the US because the US patents are for the longest period of time.

I linked to the Report of the US Patent Office showing the country of origin for the patent. Of course you didn't bother to read the link.

1) why read a link from a fool without the IQ to know that China eliminated half the world's poverty with Republican capitalism!!

2)Medical Devices
shows that with 4% of world population 60% of world medical patents originate in the USA and almost 100% come from those educated in the Republican capitalist USA!!!!!

Now certainly you can see why we are 100% positive a liberal will be slow, so very very slow.
