Guess who can get them for free? those living in civilized countries with universal health care systems.

  Very few countries offer free prescription drugs. Not even Canada does that.

    Scotland, Wales and NI do. And England has only a nominal charge.

      Right, and I think that's it (SK does the "nominal charge" thing).

        Most western countries do the "nominal charge" thing - which in this context is just about equal to zero. For instance: German public health insurance buys a course of Sovaldi for EUR40,000 ($46,000), the patient pays a cost of EUR10 ($11.50).

    It is still something different when my health care just pays for it and later talks to me about the costs than when i need to find a way to finance it from the beginning.
