What do you think would be the effect on the healthcare systems if we discovered a cure for cancer?

Two extreme options might play out...first lets say big pharma discovers it and charges an order of magnitude more than current cancer treatments. It is justified, right? If we spend x amount on just trying to extend life expectancy on patients in many cases, then they should be able to charge x + ALOT more for a simple cure.

Second scenario might be a university discovers and frees it to the world patent free. All med & pharma companies scramble to develop their own and the price drops to that of Aspirin or a simple vaccination.

What could we expect to see in the healthcare industry in each of these scenarios?
