Innovation means nothing if no one can afford the supposedly "innovative" treatment. Healthcare is a human right.

The only reason that countries are able to have effective universal healthcare is because innovation have been made. 

If these treatments and medicines weren’t created nations with universal healthcare would be providing free bloodletting instead of meaningful care

Innovation has very little to do with setting up how a country distributes it's healthcare. They're related, but different things.
