This is an understated reality of the situation. Patients are already able to receive treatments with experimental drugs. It's the "forcing medicare and insurance companies to pay for it" part that's not a good idea, especially considering that most of these treatments may be worse than the current ones.

Treatments should have solid evidence they improve overall survival when compared against the best treatments available today, and unfortunately too many studies either aren't aiming at revealing that info, and/or are comparing against inferior treatment options.
