Honestly I like that better than the US version of requiring you to pay a bunch of money for a doctor to sign off on something that a pharmacist should be able to give upon request. Something like an eye infection should be just a couple bucks to treat, but just going to a doctor to tell you "yeah your eye is infected, you need antibiotics" and then getting charged $100 or more for their signature is crazy. Maybe it would work fine in a free healthcare model. From the research ive seen there is very little risk from humans abusing antibiotics, especially in comparison to agricultural usage. I can go to the store and buy amoxicillian for fish for like 5-10 bucks, but to get a human prescription it could cost $200+.
