Marc,
Thanks for the info, however, my med's would cost $1.62/pill through them. Through the VA the cost is $.23/pill. The VA charges a flat fee of $7.00/perscription, kinda hard to beat.
I am uninsurable but on a co-pay with the VA because I am not considered (at least) 10% militarially(sic) disabled (still fighting with them on that as are many VN veterans).
Many veterans do not know this, however, medical care is available to them and if declared 10% or more disabled (from military service) medical care is free. And in the case of the VA in Seattle, I have never had better treatment from ANY other facility, public or private. They are connected with the U of Washington Medical School.
My pulmonary doctor, also a teaching professor at UW, is well known across the nation and one of the best in the NW. I try to donate 10% of my profits from trading (when I make a profit<G>) to his research programs which includes pro bono care and a volunteer graduate student program where they spend a year in Africa and South America.
I will say though, VA facilities vary throughout the nation.
