Agree

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Fitzpatrick has shown support for measures that could indirectly lower drug prices, such as increasing transparency in drug pricing and allowing for the importation of prescription drugs. Shortening the lifespan of drug patents could be another such measure, so it's possible he would support this approach.

Slightly agree

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

Fitzpatrick has shown some support for government intervention in the healthcare sector, but it's not clear that he would support broad regulation of all prescription drug prices.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

As a Republican, Fitzpatrick is unlikely to support the socialization of medicine and healthcare.
