The competition we have between companies fuels a lot of innovation right now. No real reason for Governments to put all that money into new research when you can't go anywhere else.
Especially since the government funds most research right NOW.

Why would you believe that abortion funding is "precious" to PLAYER? You don't seem to understand her very well.

Let's see: Right now, the government does medical research and GIVES the patents away to companies, who then are allowed to make a profit on them. We cut some of the profits those companies can take and suddenly, the government will have less money, less incentive to do research?
Explain...

I researched this and it turns out that government only provides 1/3 of medical research funding, the rest being from the private sector. And that's more than most other areas.

Player, what were you smokin' when you "heard" this?
I would like to get me some of that!

Yes, Canada's government run health care system is broke and is looking for ways to cut costs. Typically when costs need to be slashed the non essentials are cut first which would not be treatment first but money put into new research. Player, you did not read what I wrote, I never said Gov did not contribute to research but when they are in a pinch (and they clearly will be) they will certainly not spend much on it.
Don't worry Player, they will cut needed heart surgery and breast cancer chemo first before they cut your precious abortion funding to help the poor people who can't afford to kill their children. Unless they don't have enough doctors for that either from the dropping applicants trend that apparently is already occurring.

To be fair, the rule is "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!"

As for the flag... I have no idea where that comment even falls.

Yeah, a rigorous system of Intellectual Property protection is precisely what is holding back medical innovation in the US...

Yeah, you're not making any sense.
