I don't recall the Soviet Union creating many new drugs when they were following Lysenkoism and denying genetics for ideological reasons. The result was 50 million people dying in China alone. But I'm sure that was just…
As I stated in another post, their health care is subsidized massively by the US acting as a profit center to fund drug and medical technology development. The US produces a disproportionate amount of new drugs, other…
