The problem I have with most politicians is that most changes come with pros and cons. And they completely want to ignore the cons.<p>Quote from Forbes website:
&quot;The United States remains the world leader in medical innovation, having produced more than half of the world’s new medicines over the last decade.  But our edge is slipping away because of crippling domestic regulatory and tax policies.<p>A new report by Battelle, an international science and technology company, found that other countries are working aggressively to lure research facilities and high-paying jobs away from the United States.  They are offering friendlier regulatory policies so companies can get products to patients faster, and they are lowering taxes and offering other incentives to boost private investment in new medicines and medical devices.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m not saying a single payer system can&#x27;t work, just what are the things that need mitigated if it were to come to be.
