• Sarah Palin is of the opinion that the market of
prescription drugs is controlled to a great extent by Government
regulations which should be relaxed and made more flexible.
According to her, this would lead to the growth of competition in
the sector which in turn would help to control prices of
prescription drugs.

• Due to the heavy expenses incurred by families in buying
medicines, Sarah Palin has proposed a tax credit for families so
as to enable them to buy a suitable insurance plan of their
choice which would cover all the related bills.

• Having let the prescription drug database law take
effect in her state without her signature, Sarah Palin has
expressed doubts with regards to the privacy of the program.
Although she expressed support for the program, she claimed to
have heard concerns voiced by healthcare providers that care may
be denied by patients due to the privacy factor. 

• Sarah Palin has been one of the front-line supporters
for the prescription drug monitoring program which requires the
pharmacies to register the prescriptions mentioning abuse-prone
drugs.

• Sarah Palin is of the opinion that there should be more
competition in this sector as it would not only lead to more
choices but would also make medicines more affordable to common
people. This would not only make the sector business driven but
would also leave less room for litigation.

• Being a firm believer in nature, Sarah Palin is against
the use of medicines in general as she holds the opinion that it
is the individual who is responsible for his health and therefore
everyone should take personal responsibility for their health by
making responsible and healthy choices, thereby eliminating the
need for pills.
