How accurate is this statement

America's med costs go directly into R&D which subsidizes the rest of the world's cheap nat'l healthcare since they can just buy the stuff we paid for- if the US goes full UHC, medical costs will go up worldwide

-something a buddy of mine said
A) Insurance companies are still making record profits, so not all money is going into R&D
B) Most of the research into pharmaceuticals actually begin at universities etc where a new chemical interaction is found - pharmaceutical companies then refine the findings to identify a medical application
C) A lot of medical research is conducted outside the US in other first world countries with socialized health care?
