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.
I did take advantage of the GI Bill for school money, my first house, too. I used the VA for medical services twice back when I was broke. But I have really good coverage now, and like you, would rather someone with greater need get it. My friends who were in the Navy keep beating on me to go to the VA.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
