It's the same here. Unless you have a medical card, you'll pay 50/60/70 Euro to just see a doctor. Even if you DO have a m/c you're expected to shell out 2.50 per ITEM for any prescriptions. I get six/eight items per month for my sis, so with her card that's over a tenner a month, just for, well, nothing. Into the hands of the govt I guess. Of course, it would be much more had she not got the card, but still, it sucks. Used to be I'd fish in my pocket for change for the prescription fees, now I'm handing over a tenner and getting nothing back (or adding to it) or even using my credit card!
