> Socialized systems are subsidized by the US drug companies. Corporations pour billions of dollars into r&d and other countries end up making cheap generics of the final product, without having to do any of the research.

The American pharma companies also don't do the research, a lot of it comes from scientific institutions funded by public money.

What pharma companies do is provide capital for drug trials which are absurdly expensive, they are more alike investment companies than actual research institutes...

Fun Fact: most large pharma companies spend more on marketing than R&D.
