MS studies/research - as well as medical studies for all medicine - goes on all around the world. I read that Israel and Great Britain both have MS studies that look sorta/hopefully promising. Both have a form of socialized medicine.
Scientists, doctors, nurses, lab techs do not go into the medical field because of the money. They go into it because it interests them. At least that is what I know. Maybe there are SOME that go in for money. But lots of people, like teachers, become so because of their love for what they will do.
I was listening to the radio yesterday. A woman called in to say the health position should rename socialized medicine to civilized medicine because EVERYONE has a right to good medical care.
I liked that way of thinking.
