You got that right Nana, and we will have a high KIA rate to boot. More wounded. VA hospitals are at capacity now, can’t take care of the Vets now correctly.
0 Wants the VA Scandals which just keep exploding in his face to go away, just start another war. Cause there is another VA Scandal just waiting to hit in a few months when TRICARE LIFE Veterans start to refill their last round of meds they were FORCED to get from Express Scripts.
How many are going to be RIPPED OFF? how many charged for meds they did not order? How many had their meds stolen out of the mailboxes, the USPS just stuffed their meds in, NO PHOTO ID SIGNED for. We have a lot of teens and kids, having access to that and pills don’t mix with out a disaster in the making. Then you have the meth maker, and the common drug thieve. Just waiting for you unprotected MEDS. It will force many to get a PO Box.
If you go base route it is a hours long wait, or a second trip. Refills come out of Pensacola, FL 5 days. ES 2 weeks for first fill or refills. DO NOT LET THEM CON YOU INTO AUTO PAY WITH EITHER BANK OR CREDIT CARD! YOU COULD LIVE TO REGRET IT.
The 4/14/2014 DOD MANDATE THAT ALL 65 YR OLD TRICARE LIFE RETIREES USE EXPRESS SCRIPTS FOR THEIR DAILY MEDS. or Base dispensary which is not Senior FRIENDLY. VERY CUMBERSOME process.
We had to scramble to get paper scripts, when we already had scripts refills at our family owned Pharmacy we’d used 30 yrs.
HOW EXPRESS SCRIPTS GOT THIS VERY LUCRATIVE DOD TRICARE CONTRACT IS A MONEY PALM GREASING DEAL IT HAS IT WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. THEY HAVE DEFRAUDED US THE USA TAX PAYERS OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AS IT IS AND YOU GIVE THEM THE MILITARY TRICARE LIFE CONTRACT?
PLEASE SOME ONE WITH MORE SKILLS THAN I HAVE FIND THE MONEY TRAIL!

CBO: The military is getting squeezed for domestic spending cash
http://www.humanevents.com/2014/02/26/cbo-the-military-is-getting-squeezed-for-domestic-spending-cash/
Ive always had my VA meds sent to my PO Box address..
The problem in the last couple of years with meds from the VA is that the local VA clinics don’t have pharmacies any more to fill emergency prescriptions..
If you have a life threatening situation or pain where you need the meds the doctor prescribed today too bad..
you have to wait 2, 3 weeks for the meds to come in the mail..
