@paulmentzer7658 the cost of bring one drug to market years ago was a billion dollars, that is probably closer to 5 to billion now and their is quite a few failed attempts on the way. Who is going to pay the cost fir new drugs to be developed, go through the clinical trial phases etc. I would have the government pay the people who develop the new medicines full cost plus up to a %50 bonus depending on how useful it is. New antibiotics and anti virals get the most bonus

@w8what575 that is not true for all medications, I doubt any number of grants used to discover a useful compound would even start to pay for turning a new discover into medicine

You think federal bureaucrats would be at faster at approving anything? It is almost impossible to fire a federal employee

@curiousworld7912 so called human rights are are superceded by resource limitations and the reality of aging. I would limit politicians to one term and no retirement on the public, most government jobs you get to work them for 5 to 10 years max then back to the public. No public sector unions period.

Everyone dies of medical issues at one point in their life. Unless humans can come up with a means to allow us to live free of medical conditions forever people will always die if medical issues. I would rather the government pay for parties with a person's loved ones followed by euthanasia done in humane method for everyone who has a terminal medical condition.

Elderly people are the ones who normally have the most expensive care, if I was on charge of determining who got hip and knee and other operations I would deny everybody over the age of 65

Medicare like social security is a ponzi scheme, the people currently getting the money and care are being paid for by those paying the taxes.
