Have seen these type of comments, or words to that effect, on so many threads about Brexit.
Well I have just lived through 6 stressful months where I was unable to obtain any life saving medication for my son, and 1000s of other parents were facing the same trouble. He has multiple severe food allergies and has had anaphylaxis several times. The government had ample warning there was a supply crisis heading our way (it began in the US). They had all the allergy charities lobbying them. But when it happened they were totally unprepared.
My son actually had anaphylaxis last week, and shouldn’t have been discharged from hospital without an epipen (because of the risk of a second phase reaction) but the hospital pharmacy didn’t have any in stock. So they gave us a prescription and details of all the pharmacies that opened till late. But none of them had a junior epipen in stock. None of them.
So if the govt can fail to plan to cover a well forecast shortage of life saving medicine for children then I don’t think anyone should be feeling relaxed about a no- deal Brexit.

Why do so many people say “the govt will make sure everyone gets their life saving medication”
