Playing devil's advocate: there may be an argument that such care would not have been developed without the free-market monetary incentive. (Maybe not; maybe it would have been developed thanks to some government-funded grant. The point is: it's worth understanding what's possible and impossible in our current system.)

I work for a government driven genome research company in the UK, there are many others like this across Europe. Gov funding isn't such a problem in Europe where healthcare is a government issue.

Could you link to drugs that you have developed and how much they cost?

Can you name a single drug that was developed without public assistance from taxpayers?

90/10 rule. The last 10% is 90% of the work.
