Majority if not all of the people who have to pay the NHS prescription charge are hard-working and are already paying their dues in terms of Tax and NI. my NI as a pre-reg works out to be in the region of £55-60 PER WEEK, of which I pay about £28.50. but if i would need to pay 6.85 per item for any NHS prescription, Is this fair?

Watch what happens from 1st April, when the charge in Scotland reduces with the intention of phasing it out.
Should make for interesting News and Newspapers for the day.
