If you do not mind having a primary care doctor outside the VHCS, then you can use medicare and supplemental, IMHO this is what I suggest. You can still use specialist in VHCS with medicare. I believe there is a way to search the medicare system to find who handles the care you need and the specific drugs. Hope this helps.
Thanks, but isnt SHINE for over 65s? I am under the medicare age, so need to purchase some kind of insurance for the next 3 years.
