Doctors will surely feel it big. They will spend their 12 to 16 hour days treating patients that often pay no taxes, meanwhile only being able to keep under half of what they earned from their hard work. Innovation in the medical sector will still be there because many of the hospitals, even poorly run socialized ones, will want new technologies to help treat the patients more effectively. The U.S. will still innovate in this sector. There may not be as many smaller companies innovating though, due to the large state run hospitals only purchasing technologies from larger, more established companies with strong track records and balance sheets - and manufacturing facilities large enough to provide a large number of medical units in a timely fashion.

Hit the nail on the head with that one. Also on the healthcare thing, which country is currently a major engine of innovation in that sector? The USA, of course. If the US goes the way of most other advanced countries by socializing medicine, who will be left to invent all the new medicines, surgeries, diagnostic tools (where did they get those MRI machines from in you Canadian hospital? hmm?)? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that new medical advances will be made, but many less and to cure less people. Also, where will all the med students go? There would be less and less students who would want to go into healthcare professions because what they would get paid in the "universal Healthcare System" would make it not worthwhile to go through all that schooling. Better off going into other more lucrative fields. This will all spell out the nightmare scenario so illustratively described above by the author. Hi, nice post.
