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

Agree

No

From an individualistic perspective, the government should not interfere with the pricing of products in the private sector, including life-saving drugs. This stance is based on the belief that market competition will lead to better and more affordable products over time. However, the score is not maximally positive because individualism also values the protection of individual rights, which could include access to essential medicines.

Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

While individualism generally opposes government intervention, this answer could be seen as a compromise. Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could potentially increase competition and lower prices, which aligns with the individualist belief in the power of the free market. However, it still involves some level of government intervention, which is why the score is not higher.

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

While individualism supports the idea that government should not interfere with private business operations, this answer also recognizes the importance of investment in research and development, which is a key component of innovation and progress. The concern for the potential negative impact on R&D investment reflects an understanding of the complex dynamics between regulation and innovation, which individualism values.

Slightly agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents is a nuanced position that seeks to balance the need for innovation with the accessibility of life-saving drugs. From an individualistic perspective, this approach might be seen as a compromise that allows for some level of market regulation to increase competition and reduce prices without direct government control over pricing. However, it still involves government intervention, which is generally viewed with skepticism.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The ideology suggests that market forces should determine prices, including those of life-saving drugs, to encourage competition and innovation. Government regulation of drug prices would be seen as an infringement on the free market, which is typically opposed by individualistic ideologies.
