    Someone explain to me the argument that says non-private healthcare destroys innovation please. There's still plenty of money being invested in it internationally not just in the US, still plenty of need for better technology and fewer reasons to cut corners for private profit margins. Sounds like another excuse.

    • actually if u look at other countries theyre behind on innovation. ill see if i can find a link rather then explain
      ********
    • but explain to me the argument, you can spin examples all you wanteieio
    • what about non-private health care makes it less innovative ? Use logic if you can.eieio
    • incentives. to what gain is there to create new procedures and recoup the research losses
      ********
    • some examples do work some dont, but overall you end up with less innovation. if u get paid the same to be at work for 8 or 10 hours which do u choose
      ********
    • the reality in socialized countries is that the gov. takes on the burden of the publics actual health. They invest billions of tax dollars.eieio
    • 8 or 10 hours which would you choose. really u have to weigh out such actions and look if there is still incentive
      ********
    • would a gov already spending liek 20% of budget on a public healthcare try to spend another ten on risky technology, when there jobs are on the line
      ********
    • ...huge amounts of tax dollars in health because it lessons the cost in the long run.eieio
    • their jobs are on the line. some instances a smart person may push for something that pays off but most of the time they wont
      ********
    • Canada is a hugely valuable healthcare market, ask my uncle who sells health supllies there, just sold the company for 10 mileieio
    • 10 mil.eieio
    • the gov. doesn't feel compelled to spend on 'risky technology' because it wants the stuff that works.eieio
    • wont. it undoubtedly will stifle innovation.
      ********
    • they also dish out money for research and innovation for their own healthcare's system's sakeeieio
    • thats non argument. No incentives to innovate have been lost in Canada at all.eieio
    • damn didnt see u talking...but risky technology is what leads to innovation
      ********
    • no risky tech leads to more problems, healthcare depends on consistency and stabilityeieio
    • how many people come to us from canada to have latest treatments?
      ********
    • you make those two things better you innovate.eieio
    • stability and consistency means no innovation pretty much
      ********
    • they go there because they have money, latest treatments can mean cosmetic or conveinienceeieio
    • doesn't mean Canada is somehow behind just means USA happens to offer certain serviceseieio
    • no you lose lives without those twoeieio
    • anyway Canada has no shortage of money being invested in innovation in healthcare, its highly dynamic and profitableeieio
