20. If this was the UK it would never have been an issue.

Parents pay £0 for children's medications. Seniors pay £0. Only time one pays for medication in the UK is if you're working in England and then it's about $15 or less per script and if one needs a lot of medications a certificate can be bought to prepay for them all for a year - about $150. The other time one pays for medication in the UK is when it's not on the NHS formulary (think rare and ultra expensive cancer drugs).

The Trump Party's medical plan is vaporware... i.e. non existent... Or the "hurry up and die" plan. We have too many people in the USA who believe healthcare is a privilege and not a right - yet are perfectly OK with saying that they have a right to a weapon of war. Boggles my mind.

Thank you for what you did... I wish I had a spare $120 at times... But still I wholeheartedly agree that kids shouldn't go without their meds.
