Rejected petition Free asthma medication for asthmatics. Without it we die.

I am 36 years of age and have had this dreaded disease all my life. Without my inhalors I put great risk on my health and face the possible chances of death, joining the 3 people that die every day because of asthma. I do not want to be a statistic, I want to be alive.

More details

The UK has the highest death rate from Asthma in Europe. Every 7 minutes someone becomes hospitalised following an Asthma attack
On average every 10 seconds in the UK someone has a potentially life threatening asthma attack (asthma.org)
An estimated 5.4m people in the UK suffer. Prescription charges are a worry for many asthmatics, who avoid obtaining their prescription often, due to charges. This may have a detrimental effect on their health and their medical condition.3 people die daily!
