Cheryl - I wrote a long explanation regarding the VA and my experieinces many years ago, and then had to delete it because it said too much and it will open a can of worms. For my squad, dealing with the VA is tantamount to opening Pandora's Box.

All of us would rather continue to rely on each other as we did over 25 years ago than to bring back the VA nightmare. This is why we all obtained individual policies outside of the DoD.

I did come close to opening this can of worms when I received a check a while ago. I just split it among those of us still around, and it helped bring us even closer at a time when it was needed badly by a few of us. I have to thank Sandy for this.

RW - It is amazing how much is being charged. There are so many people with high deductables that the costs just drive them away from all MS medications.
