And did they mention how many millions of dollars it will take to get those “base hospitals” out of mothballs and brought up to date? Ridiculous.

Especially if they’ve sat empty for a decade as the one in Millington, TN has. They just remodeled the Exchange and didn’t do the Pharmacy, it is not handicapped friendly. Lines out the door most of the day since DOD Mandated all Tricare Life use base dispensary or Express Scripts, who just shoves your meds in your mail box unsigned for and you don’t know what generic brand you will get at any given refill.
As a high drug sensitive patient I can’t go that route, you give me generic thyroid med you risk sending me into a crisis. I take my own meds to the private hospital as I refuse to be charged for what I already have and take.
