Man, I'm going to get stung on prescriptions with these. Suppose I'll be cutting down on booze and pork pies though so it'll even out.

look into it, you might qualify for free perscriptions, I do

WTF?! How do you do that?

Diabetes, so free.

I get the feeling he was asking how you check, not what illness you have in order to get them free.

Here's a thing I was wondering.

If you get free prescription because of, say, diabetes. Do you get all diabetes related prescriptions free (yes, I assume) but what about, say, if you have a verucca, or a stye? Or something unrelated to diabetes... Is that free?

No no. I'm just amazed you get them for diabetes.

if you fall into an exemption then you get free prescriptions for anything. Rationale being that in your verruca example, if that got complicated for someone with diabetes then in theory it could complicate the diabetes itself. In reality its part that, part less hassle than identifying individual items (which would cost more than it saves)

As I recall the blanket cancer exemption is newish. Cos cancer has been trendy and cool for politics for the past 20 or so years.

Yes, I can see how that works. I remember a stall holder at an antiwues market once talking to a customer about his wife. She was diabetic and had a sore on her leg that (over the course of the convo) lead to her losing her leg and going blind. It was quite shocking. I can see how if other conditions can exacerbate diabetes (and vice versa) the treatment of ine may save on the other.
