"The US also subsidizes in terms of .. energy almost every western country"

These claims are outrageous and totally unsubstantiated. How does US subsidise energy of France or Japan?

"Most healthcare in the west is subsidized by the US." "The US market is far more lucrative, so companies do R&D and make capital from the US. "

You are subsidising the companies, not my healthcare. And they pay out this money in dividends to shareholders. I am sure they are very gratefull, maybe you should ask them for a rebate.

Stop subsidising them and overpaying - do you think healthcare costs in Europe will rise? If you do, I've got a wager.
