Rejected petition Asthma medication to be free to everyone on the NHS.

I was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 7. My inhalers were free due to my age however as soon as I turned 18 I had to pay for them. I am now 27 and continue to still buy inhalers. My asthma is pretty controlled however not everyone's is.

More details

Asthma is a condition that no sufferer has control over developing. It can stay controlled by inhalers. Without inhalers control is lost and putting any asthma sufferer in danger of having an asthma attack.

Yet the medication used to prevent these attacks we have to pay for.

There are numerous proceedures/medication free on the NHS and not all are for life or death situations.
