Yes, generally. Although it could be considered a price control in that the government will be forcing sales, at least on a large share of purchases, at a price it concludes is reasonable. While it will save tax dollars, it could reduce investment in drug research and innovation.

As usual, the talking points the lobbyists use overly simplify the issue.
