No, but the government should provide a capped amount for each drug to prevent Pharmaceutical companies from massively inflating drug prices.

 @92DKHTJLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents. & No, and the government should never regulate prices of private businesses. & No, limiting drug prices would also limit the investment in research and development into new life-saving drugs.

 @8ZBQLNVLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the government need to be better an expanding and adding new alternative medications to the PBS.

 @8VC6KG4Independentanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but require a portion of profits to be redirected to research and development of new life saving and general prescription drugs and ensure government funding for research and development

 @8TLSNZVLaboranswered…3yrs3Y

No, this would lead to people using fake reasons to buy drugs and then sell or deal it in a black market.

 @8SW4NZCOne Nationanswered…3yrs3Y

the government should invest more money into drug research, and yes regulate prices for life saving drugs, an expensive suggestion sure but ultimately better for everyone.

 @8RJNF2Qanswered…3yrs3Y

No, instead they should offer subsidies and rebates or a loan system like Hechs/Fee-help where you only are expected to pay if your income reaches a suitable threshold.

 @8QWKK2Janswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but if the company wants to charge more make sure money is going towards research etc.

 @8PD787Janswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but primarily through ensuring that the profit margin isn't too large for these drugs and that any large profit is reasonable or is going towards further research

 @92SLTD6answered…2yrs2Y

Yes as someone who takes prednisone and fludro every day to stay alive it’s unfair to have to pay so much for something saving my life I didn’t choose to have a an incurable disease

 @92M9D5Xanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if it is regulated it may make it easier to access these life-saving drugs.

 @993JBF8answered…1yr1Y

Regulate or subsidise? We should not be too eager to impose regulatory pricing nor should be too eager to allow absurd prices to be placed in those in need. We need to carefully negotiate and ensure a balance between the needy and the need to encourage and reward research.
