Interesting idea. I would consider this option in a free market. I wonder though, about what the natural price would be. It may be that there are so many very high cost ways to try to keep somebody alive that this plan would be very expensive. That is, it may be that so many people end up getting million dollar cancer treatments that the company has to pass this onto consumers in the form of a high monthly premium.
