Make Hyperthyroidism eligible for free prescription costs just as Hypothyroidism

Petition Details

A petition asking for fairness in dropping prescription charges in Hyperthyroidism (over-active Thyroid), just as prescriptions are free for Hypothyroidism (under-active Thyroid) and those on Levothyroxine.
Especially as Hyperthyroidism is considered more severe in managing.

Additional Information

Those diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid) must pay for prescriptions for thyroid medication in order to live. If they do not take medications to suppress thyroid activity they will die.This is for the rest of their lives, unless in remission.Yet people with Hypothyroidism (underactive Thyroid) or those who have removed their thyroid and are on Levothyroxine are exempt from prescription costs. Hyperthyroidism is considered more dangerous because of the side affects on the heart.
