@elphez @RolloTreadway That was a big part of the argument in Wales - we had a huge infrastructure to manage something that was best free anyway.
When they factored in reduced medical costs (eg the number of asthma emergency admissions plummeted because nobody skipped their meds) it was a massive financial win.

@etchedpixels @RolloTreadway Oh, that's interesting about the secondary effects of making it free.
