Letter to my US Rep (R), not that I think anything will come of it.

I write to you as a concerned US Citizen, wife of a Retired SCPO who served his Country for 20 years. He is 74 in two months. Which makes Tricare Life his secondary to Medicare.

It is your next DC. Veterans scandal. We were notified that as of 4/14/2014 via DOD MANDATE that all daily medications be either gotten through Military Base Dispensaries whose drugs are limited by size of base and is not wheel chair or handicap friendly and is very dehumanizing, long waits, and refills are for our region out of Pensacola, FL. IF they can fill the original at the base they should be able to refill it from there too. Or through the very CORRUPT Express Scripts. This company has defrauded tax payers and customers out of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is a very cumbersome system to use. There is a money trail there to be sure. I don’t have the resources to find it. I found the fraud easy enough and the customer complaints. We are talking a multi- BILLION dollar contract for the entire Tricare Life Retired Military all branches.

You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. And a Dispense as Written Script can be changed to a generic by either of them at their whim. Doctors write DAW scripts for a reason, usually the generic does not work, is a ‘small window drug’ like Synthroid, where the generic is simply not of the same quality, and the fillers have side effects. I singled out the Synthroid as I have been on it nearly 30 years. The generic does NOT function at the same level and has side effects. My Script for it is DAW per my Endocrinologist who knows my health better than some government bureaucrat or politician who are not Endocrinologist.

You medicine is delivered via USPS UN PHOTO ID SIGNED FOR. Just stuffed in your mailbox regardless of weather which medication is sensitive to, or the fact that it makes it a target for curious children, meth makers or drug thieves. We are not talking about small dollar medications either.
My husband’s Welchol is nearly $300 a 30 supply times 3, that is $900 of medicine just stuffed in the mailbox. My Linzess is $890 for a 90 day supply, it will be stuffed in my HOT, HUMID mail box in about 8 days, took 3 weeks to get this script filled as first had to obtain a paper script and mail it in.
