Personally, I see no greater advance for humanity than curing diseases. Some of these illnesses have been with us since before humans became modern humans, and now for the first time ever, we have a chance at curing or preventing them. I'd take new disease cures over colonizing Mars.

But more to your point, I understand health care costs are crazy (especially in the US), but I am concerned that capping health care expenditures will dis-incentivize companies from taking risks on new vaccines and therapies.
