I'd advise everyone to check out No Patient Left Behind and the concept of "investing" in innovation as a society. Price controls would be very dangerous for the future of drug discovery. It could stifle innovation and slow the progress of medical advancements. Unfortunately, it is very complicated but everyone should understand the investment we need to make as society to ensure we continue to come up with life changing and life saving drugs. This does come with some higher initial drug prices. We are not paying for just the drug you see but all the innovation that had to occur to get there which does include A LOT of failures in drug discovery which are very expensive and future innovation to make the next amazing drug which has a lot of failures and is very expensive. Just think about what this may do long term for drug innovation. I can promise price controls will not have the long term result you are hoping for.
