Agree

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

Regulating the price of all prescription drugs aligns with the democratic principle of ensuring equal access to essential services. Many democratic countries have implemented price controls on prescription drugs to make them more affordable for their citizens.

Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents can be seen as a compromise between free market principles and ensuring access to affordable life-saving drugs. This approach may encourage competition and lower prices, but it does not directly address the issue of price regulation. Some democracies may support this approach as a way to balance innovation and affordability.

Disagree

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

While it is true that limiting drug prices could potentially limit investment in research and development, democracy as an ideology prioritizes the welfare of its citizens. Ensuring that life-saving drugs are affordable and accessible is more important in a democratic society than maximizing profits for pharmaceutical companies. However, some democracies may seek a balance between price regulation and incentivizing innovation.

Disagree

No

While democracy values free market principles, it also emphasizes the importance of protecting citizens' welfare. Leaving the prices of life-saving drugs unregulated could lead to unaffordable prices for many citizens, which goes against the democratic principle of ensuring equal access to essential services. However, some democracies may still allow for limited market competition in the pharmaceutical industry.

Strongly disagree

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

Democracy as an ideology generally supports government intervention to protect citizens' welfare, which includes regulating prices of essential goods and services. The statement that the government should never regulate prices of private businesses is more aligned with laissez-faire capitalism, which is not a core tenet of democracy.
