What about the rest of us?
I wonder if there is a Veteran willing to offer his/her cost for 90 day supply of Eliquis. Only because we know that number for Canadian
suppliers and it would be an apples to apples comparison. I am a vet
but don't qualify for the benefits. I am on Medicare and paying for a
Part D supplement insurance policy from UHC.
