Trying to get hold of a human who can help with using benefits (pharmacy initially) and getting no replies via phone messages nor with emails.
May have to drive to seattle VA hospital and sit on my ass there until they get someone.

Want to see how much discount/copay my disability gets me for some of my new(ish) lifetime meds. Without insurance, 2 of them go for $550/$800+. Wife switched jobs and, since I retired years ago, we use her insurance right now. Had small bout without insurance while it switched (didn't feel like paying for COBRA) so figured VA was a choice. Glad it wasn't life or death with them. Pathetic

And smoe say I post gibberish.

You have to consider things from their perspective...

IF they delay you're medical treatment, you may die.

IF you die there is one less person they need to take care of.

Some? Practically everybody.

Yeah....I know. That's true.
Just pitiful that they always say how they have improved and are spending money wisely on that improvement, but when you go to try to contact them, it is rubbish.

Oh geez... I hope Flam doesn't see "you're" instead of "your". It was a sub-adequate caffeine moment I'm sure.
