Couldn't agree more that we should be paying prescription charges! Think it's a ridiculous, short-term attempt at vote grabbing by Salmond, but impossible to sustain - and yes, why should the English be paying???

As for cancer drugs though - that's kind of different - that's withholding drugs - the prescription charge is unfair, yes, but drugs aren't withheld completely! People aren't dying because of it!!

That is also true, but because of the prescription charges there is more in the purse to pay for the cancer drugs... The NHS purse is not bottomless sadly.
