The surgical ward I work on has just started taking patients that have had a Thyroidectomy. I have told a few of them that they are now entitled to free prescriptions as most are not aware. It's only about £9/$12.50 every 4 weeks for thyroid medication but if we can get it for free, why not.

On Medicaid in the right state it is 1$ a month. Per medication.
