Brits paying for a prescriptions is interesting. I always assumed the single-payer system there covered all medical expenses.

You pay $10 a month or less for a prescription. I think multiple prescriptions are $10 too. Under 16s and over 65s don't pay anything.

Which is typically one type of pill and many conditions require more than one pill. Each prescription is paid seperately and so if you have to take say 4 different pills then you are paying quite a bit. It is far from free which is the assumption many people overseas have.
