Since this article mentions socialized medicine, I have a question for the single payer folks.  There are supposed a lot of research be held up by big pharma because it is not cost effective to do it, things like new anti-bacterial agents.  If this is true, why does there not seem to be any research into these things in socialized medicine countries that big pharma does not rule?  Places like China, Cuba, Venezuela, Great Britain, Canada, Russia?  BTW, some big name Soviets came to the US for cancer treatment.  If socialized medicine is so good, why would that be?
