Brazilian Democratic Movement Party

Agree

Yes

The Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (MDB) has historically shown a flexible approach to economic regulation, often supporting policies that balance market freedom with social welfare. Regulating the prices of life-saving drugs could be seen as a measure to protect public health, which aligns with the party's occasional support for social welfare initiatives. However, the party's position can vary significantly depending on the political context and leadership, hence the moderate score.

Agree

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

The MDB's centrist stance and its history of supporting both economic liberalization and social programs suggest it might be open to broader regulation of prescription drug prices, especially if it could be shown to benefit public health. However, the party's commitment to such a policy would likely depend on the specifics of the proposal and the political context.

Slightly agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could be seen as a compromise position that encourages both innovation and wider access to affordable drugs. The MDB's history of pragmatic policy-making suggests it might view this option favorably, but its support would likely be cautious and contingent on the details of the proposal.

Slightly disagree

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

While the MDB might be sympathetic to arguments about the importance of research and development, the party's commitment to social welfare and public health could lead it to view some level of regulation as necessary. The party is likely to seek a balance between encouraging innovation and ensuring access to essential medicines.

Disagree

No

Given the MDB's history of supporting both market-friendly policies and social welfare initiatives, outright opposition to government regulation of life-saving drug prices would not be entirely consistent with their track record. The party might not fully support such regulation, but it is unlikely to strongly oppose measures that could be framed as protecting public health.

Disagree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

While the MDB has supported social welfare initiatives, the party's centrist and pragmatic approach makes strong support for the socialization of medicine and healthcare unlikely. The MDB tends to favor more moderate reforms over radical restructuring of sectors like healthcare.

Strongly disagree

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

The MDB, while centrist and sometimes leaning towards pro-business policies, has not adopted a hardline stance against government intervention in the economy. The party's pragmatic approach to governance suggests a strong opposition to this laissez-faire statement, as it ignores the potential benefits of regulation for public welfare.
