A couple of thoughts:
1. I agree with Nix here, I get the feeling that the state is getting all the downsides but no potential upsides.
2. The cost of this bill would be huge.
3. Finally something which I was planning to put into the medical research bill (but kind of forgot) was a condition that drugs to be approved, have to be proven to work better, in clinical trials, against other drugs on the market, as well as a placebo. Hopefully this would encourage investment, as companies would know they were not about to be swamped by slick 'me too' drugs. Would this fit in this bill, because I'm not sure its worth its own, and this bill is all about encouraging research, which this move would also do.
Apart from these things, I'm inclined to support this bill.
