Tens of millions of people live after cancer with heart damage, infertility and second cancers. A tiny levy on the price of curative treatments would build a permanent fund to study and treat late effects.
Health systems and payers negotiate a 0.5% levy on reimbursed prices of curative-intent oncology drugs and radiotherapy into an independent endowment for late-effects research and survivorship services: long-term cohort follow-up, cardio-oncology and fertility-preservation trials, second-cancer surveillance and return-to-work interventions. The logic is that the cost of cure includes the cost of living with its consequences, and that no manufacturer has an incentive to fund it.
