Veterans Care Plus

Discount Prescription Drugs

The initial goal for the Veterans Care Plus program is to provide access to the best values in the pharmacy marketplace today.

Currently, the prices for prescriptions paid through the program are equal to the prices that large employers and health insurance companies pay for prescription medications and in many cases, significantly less through the mail order option.

Veterans wait for health care in overwhelmed VA system

WASHINGTON --

Thousands of veterans are being turned away from Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics because of shortages in money and staff, a congressional panel was told Tuesday.

"People are literally waiting until someone else dies before they can be taken care of," said Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., chairman of the House Government subcommittee on national security, veterans affairs and international relations.

In Connecticut, beds in the VA's acute care psychiatric unit were slashed from over 200 to 30, forcing patients to wait for days for emergency treatment, said Edmund J. Burke, coordinator of veterans services for the state's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

A VA day program for the mentally ill has a 51 percent staff shortage, Burke said.

In Florida, more than 42,000 veterans are on waiting lists to see a primary care doctor, said Republican Rep. Dave Weldon.

One 80-year-old disabled veteran, who flew 69 missions over Europe as a World War II tail gunner, was rejected by an outpatient clinic that isn't taking any new patients, Weldon said.

Now it is our time to volunteer and help those who put their lives on the line for us!
