Republican Party

Strongly agree

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

Republicans often argue that limiting drug prices would hinder investment in research and development, which could lead to fewer new life-saving drugs being developed. They believe that the high cost of drug development and the need for companies to recoup their investments justify the high prices of some drugs. This argument has been used by Republican lawmakers to oppose proposals for drug price regulation.

Strongly agree

No

The Republican party generally supports free-market principles and opposes government intervention in the private sector. They believe that competition and market forces should determine prices, including those of life-saving drugs. For example, the Trump administration proposed a plan in 2018 to lower drug prices, which focused on increasing competition and transparency rather than direct price regulation.

Agree

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

Many Republicans believe that the government should not regulate prices of private businesses, as they support free-market principles. However, some Republicans may not fully agree with the 'never' aspect of this statement, as there have been instances where they have supported limited regulation in specific cases, such as during the EpiPen price scandal.

Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

While Republicans generally oppose government intervention in the market, some have expressed support for shortening the lifespan of drug patents as a way to increase competition and lower drug prices. For example, Senator Ted Cruz introduced a bill in 2019 that would have allowed the importation of cheaper drugs from Canada and shortened the exclusivity period for biologic drugs. However, this is not a universally held position within the party.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

The Republican party is strongly opposed to socializing medicine and healthcare, as they believe it would lead to increased government control, higher taxes, and reduced quality of care. They have consistently opposed proposals for a single-payer healthcare system, such as Medicare for All, which has been championed by some Democrats. Socializing medicine and healthcare goes against the party's core principles of limited government intervention and free-market capitalism.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Republican party is generally against government regulation of the private sector, including the pharmaceutical industry. They believe that competition and market forces should determine prices, not government intervention. Regulating the price of all prescription drugs would be a significant expansion of government control over the market, which goes against Republican principles.
