I guess I'm going to die from a blood clot then because I refuse to pay for it, I was a juvenile when I had my heart op and was not told I'd be on Warfarin for the rest of my life and if I had been a concenting adult and had known what I know now about how it would effect my life I'd not have had it done simple as. Sounds like bloody extortion to me and I refuse!
This Elf ain't payin'

No. Unless you are in Wales or have a Welsh GP or Income Support or Pension credit.

Very very quietly -I live in Wales so as you know all prescriptions are free BUT
surely when you get your prescription and take it to the chemists , don't you just sign the back and tick the 'exempt' part.
If you're on Incapacity benefit, doesn't that mean you get it free anyway. Read this about getting an HC1 form about low incomes and free prescriptions
The NHS Low Income Scheme
The Authority's Patient Services administers the NHS Low Income Scheme (LIS) on behalf of the Department of Health for England, the Scottish Executive Health Department. The Scheme provides income related help with health costs for people who are not exempt, nor automatically entitled to remission from NHS chargeable services, but who may nevertheless be entitled to help with the following costs on low income grounds:
NHS prescriptions
NHS dental treatment
Sight tests, glasses and contact lenses
Travel to hospital for NHS treatment
NHS wigs and fabric supports
The LIS Claims Process
LIS claims are made using form HC1.
[to request a form click here].
The extent of any help available is based on a comparison between a person's weekly income and their assessed requirements at the time the claim is made (or the date the charge was paid if a refund is claimed). Any help a person is entitled to is extended to their partner and dependent children, if applicable. Anyone can make a claim, providing they do not have capital which exceeds the capital limit. The capital limits are as follows:
If you are resident in England or Scotland:
£21,500 for those permanently in a care home
£16,000 for everyone else

You can improve your eyesight by simply learning, naturally and practicing the correct way to see for a few small minutes a day.
You can check this method based on a scientific researches :
http://improvevision.toptips.org
if glasses are worn continuously over time the poor vision will generally become worse. Essentially what glasses do is lock the eyes into their refractive state and in order to see through your lenses you have to maintain the poor vision that the lenses are designed to correct.
"Restore my vision” program you'll be taken by the hand, it shows you how to improve your vision naturally, permanent and complete solution.
Even the American Optometric Association has been forced to admit these things!
I'm sure that you will not regret your decision

Wow i didnt know that!I get free prescriptions as I had a thyroidectamy due to an immune disorder and would die without my medication but it should be the same for people with transplants I agree as they also need medication to keep alive. I think it seems like the NHS has not been reviewed since medical treatments have moved on and transplants are more common now.
