Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents can be seen as a compromise between left-wing and right-wing ideologies. It allows for more affordable generic drugs to enter the market sooner, while still providing some incentive for innovation. This idea has been supported by some left-leaning politicians, such as Senator Bernie Sanders in the United States.

Disagree

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

While left-wing ideology acknowledges the importance of research and development, it generally prioritizes affordability and accessibility of life-saving drugs over potential limitations on investment. For example, the high prices of HIV/AIDS medications in the 1990s and early 2000s led to widespread activism and calls for price regulation from left-leaning groups.

Left-wing ideology typically disagrees with the idea of leaving the prices of life-saving drugs unregulated, as it can lead to unaffordable prices for those in need.

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