Title: Thank You Gordon Brown
Post by: Vamps on 08 May 2009, 00:15:11

Got my Medical exemption certificate through today, no more prescription charges for me, :y :y :y and I can get a refund on my annually purchased one. :y

I feel that prescriptions should be free to all, but they are not, at the moment, in England, so I am personally happy as it will save me a lot of money :y :y

Ours are anyway in Wales  :P

I think they should be free anyway, they reckon only about 2% of prescriptions are paid for, that can't be fair  :-/

Two of my prescriptions I get for free, if I should happen to need anything else then I will have to pay for it.

I get my medication from a young chap in a hooded top at the corner of the street.

I dont think they should be free....if they were then it would mean even higher tax rates!

What annnoys me is that some "lifelong conditions" qualify for free meds and some don't  :(  I have hypertension (amongst other things!!) and am on pills for the rest of my life, yet have to pay for them  -- someone I know has coeliac (sp) disease and even gets a lot of specialised food ....FREE ... on prescription!!!!
