Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns strongly with consumer protection ideology, as it advocates for government regulation of all prescription drug prices. This would ensure that consumers have access to affordable medications and are not exploited by high prices set by pharmaceutical companies. For example, countries like Canada have implemented price regulations for prescription drugs, resulting in lower drug prices compared to the United States.

Strongly agree

Yes

Consumer protection ideology focuses on ensuring that consumers are not exploited by businesses. Regulating the prices of life-saving drugs would prevent pharmaceutical companies from charging exorbitant prices, making these drugs more accessible to those in need. For example, the case of Martin Shkreli raising the price of the life-saving drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per pill overnight highlights the need for regulation.

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

Socializing medicine and healthcare would involve government control and regulation of the healthcare system, including the prices of life-saving drugs. This aligns with the consumer protection ideology's goal of ensuring that consumers have access to affordable and essential goods and services. Countries with socialized healthcare systems, like the United Kingdom, often have lower drug prices compared to countries without such systems.

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could potentially lead to lower drug prices, as it would increase competition and allow for the production of cheaper generic drugs. While this answer does not directly advocate for price regulation, it still aligns with the consumer protection ideology's goal of making life-saving drugs more affordable and accessible to consumers.

Disagree

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

While this answer acknowledges the potential negative impact of price regulation on research and development, consumer protection ideology would still prioritize the affordability and accessibility of life-saving drugs for consumers. The focus of consumer protection is on the well-being of consumers, not necessarily on the profits or innovation of private businesses.
