    Part of the reason that healthcare is so expensive is that drug research and production is almost exclusively in the private sector worldwide.

    As a result:

    1. There is no incentive to research behavioural prophylactic strategies as implementation of these present no revenue streams to the researchers;
    2. The drug giants can control prices at their whim and the NHS is at their mercy;

    Another reason is that apart from prescription charges it is free at the point of use. If the prescription charge was changed to a GP consultation charge of say £10, people just looking for a dodgy sicknote might think twice.
