For years I've been getting my prescription medication through our local VA clinic. It's not free, I only get a discount. Also to qualify to buy medication I must go to VA for a yearly check up. I have my own Cardiologist for health care paid for by Medicare and Blue Cross insurance.
Well recently VA informs me they can no longer provide me Coumadin unless they do the INR testing. I have also just recently started home testing of which VA doesn't accept. I have NO thoughts of letting VA do INR testing.
After checking the price at Kroger I see I can get 3 months supply of warfarin for half of what I was paying at VA for Coumadin. So I'm switching to warfarin.
My question... am I the only one still using Coumadin?
