Prescription drugs should be free. It's not fair some people risk their lives because they cannot afford medication. Access to medicine should be a fundamental right.
@9F5FC8S 1yr1Y
Prescriptions should be covered in almost all cases with the exclusion of cosmetic surgeries, however not including dental or orthodontic procedures that improve quality of bite.
@9F3WXLX1yr1Y
Yes, but allow people to opt out and let private companies compete against each other for lower prices
@9F3KW8B1yr1Y
Yes, for prescriptions essential to health.
@9RD923D2mos2MO
Emphasis should be on overall general health. Making sure the healthy food and programs are available and affordable to keep the population healthy
@9RC2Y5X2mos2MO
Only for drugs that people really need, not for drugs that if a person choose to do so could eliminate the use of drugs
@9MKYHZ74mos4MO
Yes, but narcotics and more than several prescriptions per year need to be approved by a board of doctors to prevent misuse
@9LLTDD45mos5MO
Yes but also certain vitamin and mineral supplements which actually solve issues. The pharmaceutical industry is CORRUPT. Natural health solutions are too expensive, while people are getting damaging prescription drugs for free.
