Will Single Payer Stop Medical Advancements?

If money obsessed people made up all of the population, the end of medical research might come true. 

Fortunately they don't. Should you happen to be such a person, you are welcome to stay in your own quarantine cage, with the rest of them who are money obsessed. 

Meanwhile, humans motivated by curiosity, concern for themselves and fellow humans, and well funded by taxes, or private industry looking for reasonable returns, will boldly go and explore new medical horizons, and create new techniques and drugs.

Private Pharma Industry spends more on advertising than on research.
