Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, and the government should regulate the price of all prescription drugs
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, and the government should never regulate prices of private businesses
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, limiting drug prices would also limit the investment in research and development into new life-saving drugs
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents
@959K74L3wks
Yes,and we should nationalize medicine and healthcare.
@59Q9Z8F2yrs
Ban drug marketing and the billions spend per year on healthcare advertising
@5NCS87Q2yrs
The government would not have to regulate any drug price if the insurance industry did not exist. Drug companies would be bankrupt if anyone had to pay OOP for drugs.
Regardless, shorten the lifespan of drug patents and deschedulize marijuana and kratom.
@59QG52T2yrs
Yes, they should not allow companies to buy up patents and turn around and sell the drugs at ridiculous profit margins, especially drug research funded by the government. If the research is privately funded, that should not be as tightly regulated.
@59QRXQ42yrs
No but they should enforce antitrust laws to prevent pharmacies from hiking their prices with impunity
@gandolph2yrs
The FDA is a joke and, in many ways, makes it very difficult for any competition the exist. This, and the existence of third party payments enable the sole proprietor of the pharmaceutical agent to charge essentially what he wishes.
@59QML7R2yrs
Only after financial data is given to the public that supports the set price.
@59Q665C2yrs
Yes, but only life-saving drugs and a fair profit margin slightly higher than typical for industry should be targeted to encourage further investment in life-saving drugs.
@5NN4KJR2yrs
i am tired of the sheeple thinking the government is the answer to anything. we need to grow up and do it ourself
@59Q5RQK2yrs
Open up the market completely, so that other companies can create similar products and sell them cheaper, driving the prices down.
Only if they also enforce that research be published according to the difference in rates of increase in pharmaceutical prices and the inflation rate nationally.

@962BYHQ3 days
Yes, to a standard courtesy to the people who needs the drugs but not a lot because the continuous monitoring to ensure they have no terrorist connections
@9629L993 days
yes, but that way they can't get excessively high, but also don't make further research unlikely
@9622H3B3 days
No, but allow more international medicine, prevent evergreening of patents, fast track approvals of generics and allow certain countries a fast track for approvals of new drugs

@95YFQSVLibertarian5 days
It is unfortunate I have to answer YES for this question, as I am a huge proponent of the free market, but pharmaceutical companies are corrupt and charge unethical, inhumane prices for drugs people need to live. It must be stopped.
@95XXD7T5 days
Life saving drugs should be available to anyone needing them but they shouldn’t be completely free however they should be mandated to be affordable to the public.
@95XNTHN6 days
Government should not be in our health business! But we need an independent board who would do the regulating-one separate from government, food or drug influence!! If that's possible any more!
@95XM9YD6 days
Yes, life saving drugs should be free
Yes but only if those drugs are artificially inflated for profit
@95WSDDX6 days
No, the government should never regulate prices of private businesses, but offer subsidy through medicare/medicaid.

@95V5BRT1wk
Yes, and punish companies for price gouging life saving drugs like insulin
@95TYJJX1wk
The cost of medication should be low enough for ever individual who needs it can afford it without having to decide what they have to go without

Free Healthcare for ALL
@95SJ9NK1wk

@95R6CCX1wk

@95QTGKF1wk
Yes and shorten patents
@95QHWLD1wk
Yes, but as long as they are only given by medical professionals
