I don't think that that could pass. Too many politicians are in insurance's pocket. As long as health insurance companies exist, they will want to choose your treatments for you. Their argument, which is a valid one, would be doctors going wild prescribing unneccessary stuff.

Take a guess where the people off welfare went to work. For the Gov.

They have no reason to do that once you take the pharmaceuticals out of the picture.
