I'm retired enlisted and used the VA almost exclusively before I became eligible for Medicare and Tricare for Life (TFL). I still use the VA for vision and hearing care. I get free eye glasses every couple of years and and recently got free top of the line hearing aids from the VA. The Villages VA Clinic is top notch and it's very convenient to have providers, lab, xray, immunizations, etc; all under one roof. I do get most of my medical care using Medicare and TFL. We get a few expensive drugs from Tricare Express Scripts but most are cheaper at Walgreens.
