The entity may and should collectively bargain 90% discount, as long as the parents of those who need the unavailable medicine right now can withdraw from contributing their taxes to NHS and use the freed funds for direct purchases of the otherwise unavailable drug. I’m not sure it’s possible at the moment.

I get that sounds "fair" but when you consider the family can suffer from any number of ailments that is rather cruel to say "your son requires special medicine, to afford that you must withdraw from public health care and you are on your own if you break your arm or back"

I can imagine different plans for different people of different healthcare needs (young and old, employed and unemployed etc), covered by more than one healthcare provider, in the same manner it is currently done in airway transportation.
