It is illegal in Massachusetts where there is already universal care. I'm guessing there are no coupons in England.

No there is no coupons in ENGLAND , and only mostly generics , the only time not is when there isn't one. THE mental hospital will only give CITALOPRAM not LEXAPRO , saying its only the same med in a different box
but really its a lot cheaper. HOSPITAL stays are are very rare , and a hole ward in a brand new mental hospital I go to has closed through funding problems. If you breakdown they only stabilise you and your out.
