Driving a car comes with much more risk than many medications that are prescription-only. If we provide everyone healthcare and free doctors visits then fine, we can be more restrictive with prescriptions. Until then many people can't afford to go to the doctor to be prescribed something.

Yes, there are risks, but we take risks every day. People should be allowed to decide for themselves what risks they are willing to take, not the government. The government putting things behind large paywalls is them restricting what you can do with your own body.
