I think medication should be free for certain people with longterm conditions. Luckily my prescriptions are free because I’m on disability benefits, but prescriptions can become quite expensive for people who are on a low wage. Maybe a system where people on higher wages pay more and people on lower wages pay less would work, it would be nice if everyone could get their meds free but I don’t think the NHS could cope.

I wish med will be available free in my country…

I agree, meds should be free. No one should go without meds because of money

My meds aren’t Free but I spend about five bucks for a three month supply of generic Risperdal.
I’m happy with this.

Wouldn’t that remove the impetus for the discovery and marketing of newer better drugs.

Prescriptions are free for everyone.
