Subject: Veterans Prescription
Drug Program issues new prices to Veterans
On last Memorial Day the pResident stood on a podium with the
American Flags,
the band, all the pomp and circumstance and ended his oration
with "Good Bless
our Veterans and God Bless America"
He has just notified the Veterans that he asked God to Bless that
they have to pay a
350% cost increase in their prescription drugs they are
now receiving from the VA.
The programs aids WWII, Korean and Viet Nam veterans mostly, due
to age
and the infirmities that go with old age.This program has been
in effect for years
This is going to be a tough hit for those of us that take more
than one drug.
I myself need five different prescription drugs to help control
my asthma,
emphysema, blood pressure and cholesterol
Some I have talked some that say they are gong to space out the
use of
their drugs because of this increase, meaning that they will
not be taking the
correct dosage as prescribed by their Doctor. This could prove
harmful
and perhaps life threatening.
Please use this on your great website and let general public now
what this
administration is doing to its veterans, but please don't identify
me.
It's terrible that a Veteran would have to ask not to be identified
for fear of
reprisal by the Government. It might curtail my benefits. There
has been a rumor
that the administration is going to discontinue the program completely.
Also, those that are considering enlisting should give action
like this consideration.
