Meanwhile over in the world where the government sinks a lot of money and energy into its citizen's healthcare, government-funded labs are exploring permanent cures for all kinds of problems via genetic therapy.

But not here. Someone's gotta make mad bank off of every aspect of this shit here.

Which governments in particular; how much funding; and what outcomes have they actually achieved?

(In general the US actually subsidizes pharma for the rest of the world.)

    I've never understood this argument. Our companies make money off of people in other countries. I understand that our costs are higher in the US, but I don't get how we're subsidizing the rest of the world when they pay for the drugs as well. It just seems like our funding scheme for healthcare is broken. What am I missing?
