Paying less for prescription drugs

i am amazed how much you pay for your medicines in the USA here in england its a flat rate for any medicine brand name or not works out at just over 6GBP for each item and also if you are on welfare you end up not having to pay for any drugs as they are all free you also don't have to pay for dental treatment or glasses and if you have a medical condition like epilepsy or diabetes there are a couple more but cant remember what they are you get all medication free the USA system needs to be updated to help the people that cant afford to buy life saving medicines or have the life saving operations they need because they cost to much yes you may have the fantastic facility's but that doesn't help the normal working person who brings home just enough to pay the bills and to buy food but doesn't get paid enough to pay medical bills i mean what happens if they have a sick child does that child then not get treated because there parents cant afford to pay the bills introduce a system like we have in england the nhs and you Americans would be better off health wise and financially i would love to live in America but i wouldn't due to the price of your health care i would be worried that i would get sick and become bankrupt just paying for treatment
