And you say that like its a bad thing.
Experimental drugs usually fail and can be very expensive. Worse you would open the door to quack treatments like shark cartilage for cancer treatment as something insurance companies should pay for, after all its experimental.
Now maybe you want to write those checks, but my insurance premiums are high enough.
And before someone cries socialized medicine, there are times you don't get PROVEN treatments in those systems in a timely fashion due to costs, so don't even dream that you will see extensive use of experimental drugs there.
