so prescription charges are increasing 20p to for wage earners that don't get help with benefits etc,ok 20p increase isn't much i here you say but why does wales,northern ireland and now scotland wage earners get them free?is it fair?
You'll get a few people who'll probably post stats about waiting times, clinic availability etc. but no, it isn't fair. Apart form big businesses, the only people who seem to be paying anything towards the upkeep of this country are the wage earners who aren't able to claim benefits of any kind. I had to miss my uncle's funeral because I had to pay out for a broken boiler. My neighbour, who's in social housing, had a similar problem. She earns more than me, but got her boiler fixed for free by the council, and has just come back from a 3 week holiday in Jamaica. She's not doing anything illegal, but just getting what she's "entitled" to and that entitlement is wrong, as are many these days, but any politician trying to do something about it is blasted for targetting "the poor". I have been into literally thousands of homes in the UK, virtually unannounced, and the only truly poor households I've ever seen are those of the elderly.

The Welsh ,Scottish and Northern Irish get free prescriptions because their assemblies have decided that they are going to use some of their funds to pay for them...those assemblies are on the whole a little more left wing than Parliament..good for them and well done to their electorate...you get what you vote for or don't vote for (delete as applicable)
