Petition Free prescriptions for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients

Give patients who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis free prescriptions. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a condition which greatly affects an individual's day to day life.

More details

Simple tasks such as opening canned food, buttoning up clothing or turning keys in locks become very painful or even impossible.
The condition requires a number of prescriptions to make the most basic of tasks bearable, and sufferers of this condition have to pay for their prescriptions as this life-affecting condition does not qualify someone for a medical exemption certificate.
