which is what is being done in the US. the rich are paying for life saving medical advances that the poor cant, these advances eventually help everyone. The other option is to let some arbitary person decide whats important and what isnt. How is that better?

Because the "persons" in this case (likely a panel of medical experts from all over the world administering how a centrally deposited research fund would be spent) will make sure that the advances are for the good of everyone from the start rather than merely the wealthy.

In what world would that actually succeed?

It'd most likely just end up like how US road system fudning goes.   Each expert just trying to get money for his own country... leading to tons of shitty research projects.

 

Assuming they even get the money, i mean hell, ever pay attention to UN pledges/charity relief pledges that actually make it over.  Or even just how the EU can't enforce anything within just the EU.  Let alone a world wide system.
