Agree

Yes

While Nixon was a proponent of free markets, he did implement wage and price controls in 1971 to combat inflation. However, this was a temporary measure and not specifically targeted at life-saving drugs.

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

Neutral

No, but shorten the lifespan of drug patents

Disagree

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should socialize medicine and healthcare

Nixon was not a proponent of socialized medicine. He proposed a Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan in 1974, which was a private insurance-based plan, not a government-run healthcare system.
