Pretty sure my mum gets free prescriptions because she's diabetic, so it's probably going to mostly cover people who already get free prescriptions plus a few conditions who currently don't.
I'd love to know where the money for it is going to come from though? Maybe Wales and Scotland could subsidise us?

They said by buying in bulk and not getting brand name drugs, which alarms me because it implys they are buying brand name drugs at the moment
Also according to the Beeb, 12% do pay, so I guess it will cover them (or those who have serious conditions). 12% seems small though...I thought it was higher.

Some people still don't get it - Brown simply says what he thinks as many potential Labour voters as possible want to hear. He's proved what he's about having been at the helm or thereabouts since 1997 and led us into (in Darling's words) the worst crisis for 60 years.

Well, there is time till the next elections. He can say it, and if he delivers it Labour voters will be happy otherwise they will not. It's not an election year, so we can wait to see if he actually does it..
