Why do no major medical or drug developments come out of Canada from Canadian companies or the Candian healthcare system? when you think about it, it seems that the US actually subsidizes Canadian healthcare doesn't it?

Your faith in private sector - it seems you take this on faith... Am I right in this assumption?
The healthcare system is not the same thing as pharmaceutical companies - having doctor visits paid for by taxes shouldn't affect whether some other company makes Viagra II or not... In fact, keeping healthcare and pharamceutical concerns separate strikes me as a good idea. I always feel uncomfortable when I go to the doctor and he's writing on my chart with a lipitor pen or using an allegra clipboard.
