Thank you for your service
But do you realize how fortunate you are to have both your wife’s health insurance and medicare?
It might be better for you to use those resources and leave the already overcrowded VA to people with service connected disabilities and for those who have no where else to go.
for what you would have to pay in copays you could pay for a Med Sup plan and use the private sector relieving the VA of at least one apt and service that might go to someone who really needs it
My understanding is the VA gives good service, you have to wait a long time for it and you pay for it if you aren’t retired from the service or service related.
Good luck, they mostly seem like really nice folks in there.
