Some of our best criminals also leave the country due to govt restrictions on their area of specialty.

Breakthroughs take time to be within the general public domain. An example, for decades, many pharmaceuticals have been accepted, used, studied and legal outside of the USA. We had patients leaving the US in search of the best medical care for particular conditions. We often require studies be redone from virtually scratch before acceptance here. Same with implants, heart valve replacements, that type of thing.
If it's not being done here, it will be a long time before it gets here.
In the meantime, before general public use, clinical trials - and the benefits to those patients - occur in the country of origin.
If we don't have an environment that fosters these health and scientific developments, the creative and bright people who are responsible for those developments go elsewhere. Where they can be creative and bright.
