Thread: Stop charging Asthmatics for Prescription Drugs

lozzie · 05-01-2007, 09:34 PM

After signing the Census petition posted by lemon..I took a quick look at the current petitions being held.

My brothers and sisters suffer from Asthma, 2 are chronich asthmatics and, specially during the summer months, suffer terribly....I really don't know how they manage to do what they do some days as they struggle for breath.

The medications that they NEED to survive are not on the exemption list for FREE prescriptions...and although they can buy the Yearly Prescription Card..it is still almost £100.

PLEASE sign this petition.....it's a lifesaver

Thank you

I've signed it too, Loz. My sister gets it bad, especially when her hayfever plays up.
