In any case, more R&D is being done around the world into innovative medical technologies than in the US.
As an ex-CEO of a healthcare company said recently, "There is NO money in finding cures, you can only sell the cure to a person once., the real profit is in treating things, you can sell patients treatments for the rest of their lives".
Yeah, I want to trust my healthcare to people with that attitude.

Yikes...So US healthcare and R & D sucks compared to the rest of the world?
Lets see, the two best and most effective vaccines for Covid were designed and developed in the USA, at warp speed, and we can't keep up with demand for these vaccines from the rest of world. You may save $500 a crown going to Ecuador, but the world is not going there for anything serious.
Traveled much? Wealthy people from every country on earth come to the USA for the most advanced treatments and surgeries. Believe me, they are not flocking to Quito Ecuador if they need the most advanced cardiac or cancer treatments.
I'm sorry, but you are spouting military grade stupidity.
