Closed petition Make prescriptions free for all long term conditions in England.
Closed on
It's unfair how certain long term conditions deserve free prescriptions and others do not. It's discrimination. Either we ALL pay or NON of us pay.
I have polycystic kidney disease and need blood pressure tablets. Twice I've been in hospital because I could not afford my medication. I am not exempt from prescription charges.
If I had a thyroid condition or diabeties I'm exempt from ALL charges.
If I'm over 60 regardless of wealth I'm exempt from ALL charges.
This requires some serious review. I'm fighting this - please help me.
