WITH regards to Beris Cumming’s letter in the Advertiser on December 16, 2009, I also remember the promise of Gordon Brown in September 2008, only in May last year I experienced a heart attack and needed a triple coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).
I am now on lifelong medications for my heart which cost me almost £40 a month which can then make paying some bills difficult and not paying my bills would resort in a court order and not buying my tablets could kill me. England should follow Scotland and Wales and abolish prescription charges as the government making money from illnesses isn’t right. This is why not many people have faith in the government.
Do we not pay enough tax, council tax and all those required bills to then pay for something which is extending my life?
