not providing an opinion on your suggestion but there is no such a thing as "government and Insurance companies paying" though, It's taxpayers.

Always has been. Through insurance, cost-pass-thru, taxes, direct medication purchase, etc. So, now that it's established that it's always the individual paying into...which is the most efficient way of allocating funds out of the system? Profit? Lives saved? Less acne?
