Rejected petition Free medication for University students

More details

Students in full-time education get free dentist care and also free medication, however, students at university lose these benefits even though they are still in fulltime education and are actually now paying around £24,000 just for tuition. The government should make the same free healthcare benefits the same for full-time univeristy students.
