An article in The Sun newspaper 6th March caught my eye. It is yet another example of our government being bad! It stated how doctors feel that ALL patients should get free prescriptions. With Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland having abolished the fee, it's about time England followed suit. Why is it that hard working people have to pay £7.10 a time for something that could potentially be keeping them alive! Yet, (although some through no fault of their own) sit on their backside and get yet another free handout from the state! Why is it only from next month that having cancer makes you exempt? Isn't having a life threatening illness such as cancer bad enough without the added stress of stuffing (more) money into the pocket of the government? Some people simply cannot do without cetain medication, and then there are people who cannot afford the fee and go without, surely this would add pressure on the NHS when these people get so bad they need emergency treatment-treatment that could have been prevented with medication.
