For one, "per capita" means "for each head" in Latin, it's a term usually used to describe trends in distribution among a populace. You can't say "people per capita" because that's like saying every person is a person, and that just makes you look like a fuckass. And secondly, where did the get South Africa as the murder capital of the world? There are mass-executions, genocides, car bombings, gassings and other atrocities on a massive scale going on elsewhere in the world. South Africa is in relative peace now, having come out of the apartheid age. Nowhere near 80% of medical breakthroughs come from the US, a large percentage of them come from European countries or places like China and Japan. Regardless of this fact, medical research has NOTHING to do with healthcare. It's a government subsidized program aimed at maintaining the county's overall health. The comment on foreigners coming to the US for treatment and leaving in debt is both incredibly insulting and misguided. It's funny how you think you're such an upstanding person fighting generalist comments with more of the same. Many people who will seek treatment in the US from foreign countries either know the cost beforehand and therefore what they're getting into and understand the possibility of not being able to pay or can be perfectly well off people but their country simply won't allow the use of the medical treatment they need. (ie the African Sleeping Sickness syrum is outlawed in a few European and Asian countries). I'll have you know, fuckass, that I am Russian myself, my entire family comes from Georgia and my cousins even took part in the Rose revolution. I've travelled all around the country and the poverty you see is nowhere near the levels that it is in some African countries. How can you possibly misconstrue that? There are entire nations in Africa that are below the poverty line. Maybe you just think those blackeys don't count? Racist fuck.
