At the momemnt, I pay the charge for my prescriptions (I live in England). If I'm spared, I will one day be 60, and entitled to free NHS Prescriptions. Would I be greedy and immoral to do this, since I will be costing the NHS money and therefore depriving the sick and poor of treatment?
Would I be equally, less, or more immoral if I lived in Scotland or Wales, and received free prescriptions even though I might be in work, or prosperous enough to pay for my own?
or is the immorality the fault of for example the Scots parliament for accepting extra taxpayers money out of the UK tax pool, most of which comes from England, and spending some of it on free prescriptions for prosperous residents of Scotland?
