While the drug pricing debates havent been a focus of media recently they are definitely still going on. According to this article, since 2014, 29 drugs have been mentioned by the government regarding their prices being way too high but only 5 of those 22 went down on their prices while 2 went up. One of the biggest themes of america is free market which brings into question whether or not the government should be able to control the prices of drugs especially when those drugs are needed to keep somebody alive. The government will not let somebody die due to not being able to afford a medication which means the cost of the drugs would go to programs such as medicare. Which in turn makes the people of the country pay for the medication. If the government does regulate the drug prices then people will definetley become angry which will start a entirely new issue. Either way somebody will not get their way.
