AI Summary
- Establishes the "Cure Act" creating a multistate Cure Compact Commission that awards substantial cash prizes for treatments and therapeutic protocols that cure specified diseases
- Requires at least six states to join before the Commission becomes operational, with each compacting state represented by one member; prize approval requires a two-thirds vote of all commission members
- Prize amounts equal the estimated five-year public health savings across all compacting states for each disease, funded through annual payments from member states based on actual healthcare savings achieved
- Prize winners must transfer all patents and intellectual property for the cure to the Commission, which then manufactures and distributes the treatment at cost to member states (with royalty fees added for non-member states and foreign countries)
- Commission must identify at least ten major diseases for prizes based on severity, survival rates, and public health costs; treatments must be FDA-approved and cure the disease in less than one year to qualify
