About the flu/pneumonia this season, and other maladies like strokes

I brought this up to a lady from a hospice, at our last elder orphans meeting.

She had not seen this at her hospice.

38 states have right-to-try laws.

"Right-to-try laws are U.S. state laws that were created to let terminally ill patients try experimental therapies (drugs, biologics, devices) that have completed Phase 1 testing but have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

My question is who(Medicare?)would pay for it.

Devils in the details:
"Do patients undergoing right-to-try therapies lose their coverage for hospice? Would insurers be absolved of any responsibility for covering further medical expenses once a patient starts a drug under right-to-try? What if the experimental drug causes hospitalization or leads to additional treatments — who would pay for that?"

btw, "U.S. Senate Passes Right-to-Try Bill" (August 03, 2017)

I cannot understand why people aren't pounding on the doors of companies like Cytosorb, Athersys, Aethlon or ReNeuron (well, Reneuron is Brit'). All phenom'results.
What gives?
I guess I spent too much time in caregiver mode and in nursing homes. It bothers me.

Have a great Friday and God bless.
