VA Watchdog Exclusive!! VA Developing policy Vets can fill prescriptions Walmart!

http://www.vawatchdog.org

The VA is developing a policy that would allow VA doctors to write prescriptions that could be filled at Non-VA pharmacies.

Currently, veterans pay $8.00 for a 30-day supply of non-service-connected medication at a VA pharmacy.

Wal-mart has announced a $4.00 prescription plan. In Many states,Wal-mart will fill a prescription for generic drugs for just 44.00 for a 30-day supply. A number of other retailers have followed Wal-marts lead and announced similar plans. Target will institute a $4.00 plan in many states.

they were going to give it to me for free.

2. I get where your coming from, but Target offered the same $4.00

and I think they are WAY more ethical than Walmart!
