Being a disabled veteran I know we have to wait for help. But with the care we get from our government we cant afford the copayment for my non service connected medications. So no more diabetic or cholesterol medications. Even with teeth that need to be removed you just hope you can put up with the pain. Even with dental insurance we can't come up with the 25% to have the work done. You have to cut out what you cant afford. What a little more pain in your life.
