R & D. That’s it in a nutshell. And that’s why we don’t want socialized medicine. Let the profit motive work it’s charms.

But wouldn’t Hillary’s five year plans work so much better than the profit motive. After all, it is far more pure hearted than the money grubbers in the drug industry. Why, just reading to children from Das Kapital will be more effective than any chemotherapy.

"...And that’s why we don’t want socialized medicine..."

That's just mean-spirited! All cultures are equal, and this trend is unfair to the children of other countries.

Exactly. When Hillary et al speak of socialized medicine, the speak of "quality" health care - but the reality is that the government does not care about quality in the same way that the person who needs the good or service does.

The only thing which sustains quality is the ability of the "consumer" - the one who cares about quality - to reward quality and choose not to reward the lack thereof. Socialism is about reducing the price, and its natural tendency is to take away choice and leave the subject of its "benevolence" with shoddy goods, delivered too late to be of best utility.
