He is the veteran, not me?

You husband was probably like me, didn’t go to hospital/sick call for every little achy thing and now realize’s we should have. VA really for disabled vets regardless of time serviced. (IMO VA discriminated against retirees). If his DD214 was clean and he had no medical condition when retired now he will have to prove medical related condition that was caused by service to get VA benifits, `good luck with that.
Tricare for life along with Medicare should take care of all you’re and his medical needs except what you mentioned, even to get dental through VA that’s special requirement. I had 21 years active and was told same thing.
Medicare and TCL has done everything I expected it to do. If your husband has cataracts Medicare and tricare will pay for removal and corrective lens so he won’t need glasses other than to read depending on his condition?
Dental? you out there with worthless dental plans.
