What a Dingbat

Quote: Last night a spokesman for the Department of Health said: “Entitlement to free prescriptions in England is based on the principle that those who can afford to contribute should do so, while those who are ­likely to have difficulty in
paying should be protected. There are extensive exemption arrangements already in place.”

Where has this dipstick been?
Prescription charges at around seven quid per item is bad enough but to infer that those who are forced to shell out £30,000 for a course of life saving treatment are everyday folk who can afford it beggars belief.
