Don't quite understand what you're saying there Diki.
What I said was that if you get a diagnosis from a doctor that you need certain pills or tablets for your problem, you go to the chemist (pharmacy) and pay £7.40 (=$15 or 16) for each packet of pills.
If you are advised two or three different medicines, then you have to pay 2 or 3 times $15!!!for your packet.
What usually happens is that patients do not go to the pharmacies because they cannot afford to pay for the medicine....with obvious results.
As for the so-called "free health service" , we paid for that treatment by subscription throughout our working life.
