Make Asthma inhalers free, like other medicines are for other ailments

What the petition asks

As seen in the news people including children die from Asthma attacks.
I know a few people and as seen on the news people of all ages are dying from Asthma attacks. Not everyone uses preventative inhalers due to the prescription costs. Why do diabetics get free prescriptions and other illnesses that can't be helped, but not asthma sufferers? This is a killer and inhalers should be free.
