People should not have to pay for blood pressure pills nor asthma inhalers. People taking thyroid or diabetic medication are not charged for any medication - why?
Any long term condition should not have to pay. No one should have a problem paying for the occasional antibiotic.

She has to use 4 times in the morning and evening, resulting in her having to spend the above amount every four weeks. Could some one please explain why England funds Scotland between £12- to £16 million pounds a year, which i would say covers priscripton charges, and student fees, and yet my wife has to pay for treatment to aid her to breathe. This England i used to take pride in, is now governed by a bunch swindlers.

Having an auto immune disease called Coeliacs Disease. This means I have to eat to certain dietry foods. These are not only extremely costly but hard to purchase. Having the prescriptions paid for would mean I could get my dietry foods with out any problems. Another auto immune disease is diabetes - they get there insulin and other products for free so why not me!. Isn't it about time the English stood up for there rights?. Why should we be discriminated against?
