Wot are you sayin? 🙂 If they make drugs that require a prescription to buy them , then they advertise that. Were you talking about this or was it something else?

It’s not “free” in Canada either, far from it, it costs a lot in both cases, it’s just that these costs are spread around in the different ways and therefore the accessibility to the health care differs too. As far as “possibly”, you’ve hit the nail straight on the head. People just can’t seem to realize that what they get is not service but a possibility to pay for it, insurance. Which says nothing about the quality or quantity of service itself they may get should they need it. A damn good point.
