This is a bit of what happened today. The Sand Crawler in the White House and his minions, trolls and slugs are hosing over the Armed Forces Retirees. Sorry if the amounts are not what some would consider excessive but it is the severe increases from what it was. Percentages. And straight up, folks, we who served for long periods do not owe anyone else a damn thing anymore. Even the Sand Crawler in Chief is not good enough to kiss our asses.
I discovered my TriCare co pay for prescriptions took a near vertical rise in cost. I picked up my prescriptions today. What was a three dollar co pay for ninety days is now fifteen dollars times three medications. The other one is at twelve dollars. That was fifteen dollars for what was eighteen dollars before. Seems that someone inside the Beltway is out to hose over all Armed Forces Retirees. That is the only thing I can surmise. Why do all of you who support the CinC, blindly, hate us so? It is the only thing I can gather from this. WE ARE OWED! Regardless of what we do for a living. I do make a good living. But this boils down to right versus wrong. These benefits were EARNED doing what the ordinary American would not or in case of my generation refused to do. I include most of the Congress in that as well.
Polite but blunt. I called Congressman McCarthy's office in Bakersfield and got a staffer. The paperwork is enroute to the house. I also left voicemails with my senators. Those stirling witches we are saddled with, Babs and Dumb Diane. I was polite but let my irritation and anger show.
The promise..........broken. I will never pop tall at attention for any office holder ever again. Never. I will insult their ancestory, call them vile names but never, ever show anything resembling respect, again.

Why don't you get your prescriptions at the EAFB pharmacy? No co-pays, no hassles, just filled prescriptions and friendly service. At least that's how it is here at Cannon Airplane Patch. I've never used a civilian pharmacy... even when I was on Tri-Care before converting to Medicare... and I still don't.
It was due to the convenience.....just down the road and three bucks each was no big deal. But that amount yesterday is a half tank in the Titan!
Called the pharmacy and they have all four in the correct dosages. Called my doc's office in Tehachapi and got the RXes headed to the house via the US Snail Mail!!!!!
There is one I have to get in town........Levitra. Had that spinal injury nine plus years ago. And the age thing figures in sometimes! The Missus gets one of here Diabetes meds at the civilian pharmacy. The AF at Eddie's Airplane Patch does not carry it either.
I wondered about the availability of certain drugs after I posted my comment. I guess my ailments are all pretty common!
Fosomax(Osteoporosis), Pravastatin Sodium(Cholesterol), Nexium and Chlorthalidone(BP)
There is a fairly large retired community in the AV.
