I have to posit the possibility that American's developments and high-profile achievements in this industry has everything to do, like it or not, with the fact that money makes their world go round.
The more money that is pushed to research, the better the research. Cancer research, though not classified as basic, should be just as important as the common flu. If we were to even modify the system, this same profit-centered research (assuming replaced with public funds) could lose its muster or its value altogether.
Capitalism by its very nature yields better results.
