I went to the Veterans Administration hospital today to check and make sure I'm still eligible for VA health insurance.
It's been about 5 years since I was there last, and since I was never notified about the distribution of new ID cards, I had my concerns. So I thought that would be a good way to check my VA health insurance eligibility. If they give me a new ID card, I'd be good to go.
Well, everything went fine. The VA still had me on file, and took me right in to take a updated picture for my new ID card. They said I should be receiving it in 7 to 10 days, and probably sooner.
So Edie and I are pretty much set. Edie will be eligible for Medicare in about 6 months, and as a fall back I still have my VA benefits.
So matter what happens with health care/insurance reform in front of Congress now, or with the recent buy out of the company I work for, at least I won't have to worry about having easy and affordable access to health care.
I'm feeling much better now.
