That’s absolute bullshit. A policy like that will directly lead to deaths. What about going after the billions the tories raided from the public purse before we start killing off our elderly?

She should. They aren’t retirement age yet so they should pay like everyone else

Meanwhile grifters who have sponged off the state their entire lives never have to pay.
How can that be justified?

All the elderly can pay £12 a month for a pre-pay certificate that covers all their meds, like everyone under 60.

>The Intergenerational Foundation charity said free prescriptions should be aligned to the state pension age of 66 to help [plug a £22bn deficit in the economy.](https://archive.is/o/OIswe/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/taxes-rachel-reeves-pay-fill-britain-black-hole/)
>A government report in 2021 found that raising the threshold would raise £6.2bn over 10 years.
To clarify for those who won’t read… so far this is a whatever-that-charity-is and tories’ thing.
And presented as “aligned to the state pension age of 66” makes quite some sense, to be fair.
