Where does most health care research happen? I mean, you can't compare a country like Canada with 25 million people and the US with 300 million and then say the reason we have more is based on high medical costs and corporate profits.  
I think you are saying that England and Canada, with socialized medicine, have low investment in research. That is, a suggestion that socialized medicine is bad. Here is a list of funding increases and decreases. China is increasing, we are decreasing investment. http://www.fic.nih.gov/News/GlobalHealthMatters/january-february-2014/Pages/spending-investment-biomedical-research-development.aspx
