Sorry to hear you've got such a hard row to hoe. Do you at least have VA support for it, for what that's worth?
I have recently signed up for Medicare. I haven't seen a doctor yet but with GoodRX my prescription refills have been quite reasonable.
I have never attempted to use the VA as I have never felt that my relatively short service and lack of any dangerous assignments means I should leave it for those who really need it. So far, I have not. There are people that I feel are more deserving and I don't need to add to their wait for care.
My discharge was honorable so it's not like I can't use it should I ever need to.
