It seems to me that the idea behind free prescriptions is to allow
people who need regular / long term medications to receive them free, ie
for the elderly or long term sick, and people with sporadic illnesses
to pay.
In that case, why not have a system where in any one year you pay no
more than £20, or another arbitrary figure, before subsidy kicks in?
