I’ve never seen that discredited. Are you confusing the obvious fact that they won’t pursue unprofitable drugs with the much more dubious idea that they won’t pursue profitable cures because ongoing treatment is even more profitable?

The dubious idea is that eliminating private medical care systems would open up a world of research into treating very rare conditions with high R&D costs.

If this was true, why wouldn't all of the countries with socialized medicine be doing it already?
