No, we should only fund natural medicine. Prescription drugs have shown to be addictive and can lead to deaths from overdose.

The prescription should be paid by the people who are being prescribed or have someone in need of a prescription.

Yes but No, people could also be drug addicts so I still think you should pay for your medication however if you are not eligible to afford it then it should be covered.

Ensure that patients will not become addicted, and also ensure that doctors or pharmacists are 100% certain that they are trying to help and not just make money.

Cap the price of drugs, only offer coverage for low-income families for drugs with 0 potential for addiction.
