I think Tricare/DOD/Federal Government, are getting to be quite ridiculous!!!! My husband and I are both quite sick and we depend on our medications to help keep us functioning and alive day to day. He is on 20 meds and I'm on 21 meds. We both have 3 of them that have been moved to the 3rd tier within the past year. We try to get as many of them GENERIC as we can. We also just had our PCP Dr. change 2 of them to OTC meds so we could have them filled (90 day supply) UNDER THE NEW PROGRAM at the TRICARE MAIL ORDER PHARMACY for FREE. You see, we're both living on a very limited income, thanks to VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION. LONG STORY!!!!!!!! My husband is a 20 Retired Militaree and TRICARE/DOD/FEDERAL GOV'T are trying to TAKE AWAY ALL OF OUR BENEFITS that were promised him... WHAT'S NEXT??????????

I think it is terrible that the Federal Government keeps SLIPPING these medications into the 3rd tier.
They think that we are so stupid that we will not notice it if they move a few at the time. Three of mine have already been moved. What is this world coming to? If the Federal Govt can't keep their promises to their veterans that risked their lives then this world is in a terrible state. You don't see them cutting out their own benifits though.

Hi there. There will soon begin a new kineret treatment on my friend's kids. All I want to know is what the serious side effects of the treatment are. They may decline the treatment as they dont want to risk kids' health.

would appreciate your prompt answers.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aquarius

You won't like it if you feel your wings are being clipped today. You want to do something in particular, only to discover that someone is objecting to your plans or that circumstances beyond your control are standing in your way. Although your instincts tell you to throw a tantrum to get your point across, you must ask yourself what this will achieve, and whether it will actually be self-defeating.
