lol and I say this as someone who grew up in Soviet occupied eastern europe. Trust me, there are very few systems worse than communism, well at least, that version of it.
Medicine development is almost completely done in Universities with tax money, pharma company budgets are almost completely marketing. So yes, we already do that
It always seems to skirt people by that basically none of the early development is done out of the lust for knowledge and progress by private companies. They see promising work/studies and make it into mass market products that can proceed through clinical trials.

Free medicine is nice, though. Not very high quality sometimes, but still better, than bankruptcy after ambulance ride.
Free high school education is a good option too.
Will you develop medicine for free? Will you do 8+ hour long surgeries for free? Will you teach children at school for free?
Nothing is free, buddy. If sth appears to be free, it’s only because someone sponsors it.

Yes, it’s done with tax money, so it’s not free.

Yeah if I can’t get a yacht out of the deal why would I even bother trying to cure cancer? It makes no logical sense.
