Do you really think that is ever going to get off the ground?
Many would view it as a new tax and many would say there are alot of people who couldn't afford to pay it etc.
Seriously do you think any government or public are going to allow or vote for this to happen?
why would anyone view it as a tax at all?
if
insurance companies pay to do the studies / testing
and cures are found or alternate medicine is found to
replace several high dollar treatments and medicines then wouldnt the insurance companies profit from that lower cost?
big pharma is constantly being sued because people are always dying or become severely ill due to taking their barely tested new medicines.
if they are not barely tested then why do people die or get severely ill?
and cost is becomming a real problem , so much that people cant afford insurance.
I dont see why the insurance industry could not fund the testing without any one voting.
thorough testing would mean safer medicines , and would prevent lawsuits , and would lower insurance cost to doctors , hospitals , companies , people , etc...
life insurance companies could collect premiums longer before they have to pay the life insurance benefits.
100,000 people a year die in the U.S due to prescription drugs.

http://www.sagamoreinstitute.org/ao/index/article/id/3004 medical bills are very high because the insurance is very high and that cost is simply passed on to the patient.
the reason the insurance keeps going up is because medicine keeps getting worse.
someone who makes a medical product for a dollar has to sell that product for a thousand dollars or more just because of the insurance he must carry to cover any damages his product might cause.
