Some have been working to achieve single payer healthcare but unfortunately many voters have been sold stories to vote against their own interests. We have to realize we are at the point of the medical technology timeline where all the cheap lowhanging fruit have been picked, our next breakthroughs will therefore always be expensive and time consuming—short of finding something no one has seen that was already there (unlikely, considering everyone reads about the same sort of source material in a field). The best way to get these expensive treatments to more people who need them is to establish a public healthcare model that would use the national gdp to shoulder these medical costs for these rare diseases, that probably amount to a relative rounding error in the grand scheme of things.
