Medications for common conditions like eczema, hay fever, and allergies should be free because they are essential for maintaining quality of life and preventing more severe health issues. These conditions are not just minor inconveniences—they can significantly impact daily life, work productivity, and overall well-being.

My PLAN

Why Should These Medicines Be Free?

1. Health is a Basic Right – People should not have to suffer due to financial constraints, especially when effective treatments exist.
2. Preventive Care Saves Money – Free access to antihistamines, creams, and other treatments can prevent more severe complications, reducing the burden on the healthcare system.
3. Improved Productivity – Allergy sufferers often struggle with fatigue, headaches, and breathing difficulties. Treating these issues for free can reduce sick days and improve work performance.
4. Fairness & Accessibility – Many essential medicines are overpriced, making it difficult for lower-income individuals to afford consistent treatment.

The government should recognize these medications as basic healthcare needs and ensure they are freely available, just like other essential health services.
