Wtf. What the fucking fuck?

My medications, and I have a lot (migraine prevention - zolmipitran), are covered by the NHS standard prescription charge. £12 I think. I get them delivered to my door. If I had leukemia, that med would be the same price, same capped £ figure. Inhalers and insulin meds - same price.

£12 is nothing nowadays. And if you are unemployed or on benefits, or not an adult, you get them free.

Best of luck to you, but seriously what the fuck at your country

Thanks, mate. Agreed, this country is fucking bonkers. Protect your NHS at all costs, I've heard a lot about the Tories trying to move towards privatization for years now. It's a joke, the NHS isn't perfect, but it's so much better than what we Americans have. Cheers.
