La Pregunta GRANDE!!!

Suppose that a genius scientist/doctor/humanitarian who has been off in the most remote jungles and mountains of the world doing research for the past twenty years returns with the cure for a horrible disease. Lets use cancer as an example. With all the job opportunities and revenue generated by the hospital for procedures like the oncologist, the chemotherapy sessions, and the countless check ups that accompany such an ailment would the government really allow that specific disease to be cured? Or instead would the loss of job opportunities and money be to great for the economy to handle?
