Please spell them out. I'm anxious to hear you well thought out take on the situation. I bet you won't dare give your personal opinion.

If you just help them, you will have to help them for the rest of your life, and creates a dependent society. You don't give a damn about it because you don't understand it.

What are all of the new breakthrough miracle drugs and medicines coming from this list? What are the new and innovative medical devices being rolled out? How much money do these countries spend on R&D? Do you think the cost per person for medical care and healthcare would rise if those countries spent that R&D money? Do you think the best and brightest from these countries go into medicine if they know the government will control their earnings forcing them to live on an average working wage, or do they come to America to get their education and open their practices here to pursue the American dream?
