Yes, that is what our government is doing. Now insurance companies can already stop paying for expensive medicines in some cases. They want to get some medicines out of the basic package, so you need extra insurance. A matter of time before there will be a bigger split between poor and rich.

Medicine for diseases like Pompe and Fabry cost 60 million to help about 100 patients. Also cancer medicine can be expensive (and only let you life a year longer).
