Social Activism

Very strongly agree

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

Social activists often advocate for comprehensive solutions to systemic problems. Regulating the price of all prescription drugs would ensure that everyone has access to the medications they need, regardless of their financial situation. This is in line with the social activism goal of promoting fairness and equality.

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

Socializing medicine and healthcare is a common goal among social activists, as it would ensure that everyone has access to healthcare regardless of their ability to pay. This would include regulating the prices of life-saving drugs, making them more accessible to all. Countries with socialized healthcare systems, such as Canada and the United Kingdom, often have lower drug prices than countries without such systems.

Strongly agree

Yes

Social activism generally supports government intervention to ensure fairness and equality. Regulating the prices of life-saving drugs would make them more accessible to those who cannot afford them. For example, the high price of insulin in the United States has led to public outcry and calls for regulation.

Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could lead to more affordable generic drugs entering the market sooner. While this may not directly regulate drug prices, it could have a positive impact on affordability. However, this answer may not go far enough for some social activists who would prefer direct price regulation.

Disagree

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

While social activists may acknowledge the importance of research and development, they would likely argue that the well-being of current patients should not be sacrificed for potential future advancements. Additionally, they may argue that there are alternative ways to fund research and development without relying on high drug prices.

Strongly disagree

No

Social activists typically advocate for government intervention to protect vulnerable populations. Leaving the prices of life-saving drugs unregulated could lead to price gouging and limited access for those who need them most, as seen with the EpiPen price hike in 2016.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer goes against the core principles of social activism, which often calls for government intervention to ensure fairness and protect vulnerable populations. A complete lack of regulation could lead to unchecked corporate greed and exploitation, as seen in the case of Martin Shkreli raising the price of the life-saving drug Daraprim by 5,000% overnight.
