The rest of the developed world, especially Switzerland, also has to thank the US for single-handedly ensuring the profits for its pharmaceutical industry.
Downvoters might read up on which country those pharma profits overwhelmingly come from and why companies like Novartis or Roche are worth what they are worth. As a European the US healthcare system gives me a failed-state vibe, but there are people close to me profiting directly from the absurd prices it pays for drugs.
