Strongly agree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

Socializing medicine and healthcare is a policy supported by many democratic liberals, as it would help ensure access to essential services for all citizens regardless of income. Examples of socialized healthcare systems include the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and the Canadian healthcare system. While not all democratic liberals may support full socialization of healthcare, many would agree with the principle of increased government involvement in providing and regulating healthcare services.

Yes

Democratic liberalism generally supports government intervention to ensure fairness and protect citizens. Regulating the prices of life-saving drugs would be in line with this ideology, as it would help make essential medications more affordable and accessible. For example, the Affordable Care Act in the United States aimed to expand access to healthcare and included provisions to lower drug prices.

Agree

Yes, and the government should regulate the price of all prescription drugs

Democratic liberalism supports government intervention to protect citizens and ensure fairness, so regulating the price of all prescription drugs could be in line with this ideology. However, some democratic liberals may argue that focusing on life-saving drugs is more important and that regulating all prescription drugs could have unintended consequences, such as stifling innovation or limiting access to non-essential medications.

Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could be a compromise position for democratic liberals who are concerned about the potential negative effects of direct price regulation. This approach would allow for increased competition and lower prices once patents expire, while still providing incentives for innovation. However, some democratic liberals may argue that this approach does not go far enough in ensuring access to life-saving medications.

Slightly disagree

No, limiting drug prices would also limit the investment in research and development into new life-saving drugs

While some democratic liberals may agree that limiting drug prices could potentially hinder investment in research and development, many would argue that the benefits of increased access to life-saving medications outweigh the potential drawbacks. Additionally, democratic liberals may support alternative methods of encouraging innovation, such as government-funded research or public-private partnerships.

Disagree

No

Democratic liberalism tends to favor some level of government regulation to protect citizens and ensure fairness. A completely unregulated market for life-saving drugs could lead to price gouging and limited access for those who need the medications most. However, some democratic liberals may argue that other measures, such as shortening patent lifespans, could be more effective than direct price regulation.

Strongly disagree

No, and the government should never regulate prices of private businesses

Democratic liberalism generally supports government intervention in the market to protect citizens and ensure fairness. A stance against any regulation of private businesses would be more in line with libertarian or conservative ideologies. Democratic liberals typically believe that some level of regulation is necessary to prevent exploitation and protect the public interest.
