The problem we are rapidly running into is that neither Government nor Corporations are competent to run anything ESPECIALLY something that cares for our heroes.

Until we recognize the enemies on all fronts we are in grave danger.

This, in a nutshell, is our problem. We live under crony capitalism aka fascism. Healthcare has become big business and is not delivered under free market conditions. This is the catch-22 when one speaks of privatizing anything government run.

Here is another IGNORED SCANDAL, this is what I’ve dug up so far. The NEW DOD MANDATE that TRICARE LIFE Retired Military are to use either Base Dispensary or Express Scripts for their maintenance meds went into effect 4/14/2014. Very cunbersome system, when you are use to a Family owned private Pharmacy, where you are treated like a family member and a human. To this dehumanizing process, Base dispensary is NOT set up to deal with Seniors especially handicapped ones. When it comes time to reorder your meds they come out of Pensacola, FL for the TN region. 5 days to get a refill. 2 days to get a first script. Unless you want to sit 3+ hrs waiting for it to be filled. It will be a turn in, and go back the next day to pick it up. Express Scripts is a 2 week process. Your drugs are shoved NO PHOTO ID SIGNED for into your mailbox by USPS. Available to kids, meth makers or just thieves.

Money trail needs to be found, and soon. Rumor mill has it Medicare and Medicaid will be forced to Express Scripts. Creating more a SINGLE PROVIDER medicine machine, wiping out family Pharmacies.
