In my view this survey is not reflective of the vast number of people receiving Medical Cards.

I believe that most people receiving Medical Cards will not be Registered with Irish Health, or have access to a computer.

I would like to vote 'Yes', but I fear that this is only the beginning. Once they start charging, the fee will go up year by year. It would be more important to stop giving Medical Cards to people who can afford the €100 per month scheme.

Yet again we are the scapegoats for the Government. How far are they prepared to stoop to completely destroy us? I have three children with disabilities and everyday is a struggle for them and me trying to make ends meet. I am sick of this government and the rest are not much better. If we did half of what they do we would be locked up long ago and the key would be thrown away

Where are the so called people who are shouting every day about cuts to this that and another they would want to stop shouting and get out and do one major thing. Get this government out as soon as we can. Let Irish mothers in and boy we will run the country. Men are useless all they think about is themselves they care about no one or no body

A charge of 50c would seem fair for a full presciption but not on every item. I am on long term disability and at times I am on upwards of 20 different tablets a day. €10 may not seem a lot, but to people on low incomes and paycuts across the board, IT IS!
