This is long long over due, to disable Vets. This also should be a no brainer for anyone up on the Hill and the President should be behind this bill. I think we should all email the White House

They float this every couple of years, and it never passes. I would be surprised if it happens.

Actually all Veterans who use VA Hospitals can use the PX and order from the online store in Dallas. The PX wants the business.

Veterans Canteen service is the facility at the VAMC.

You can buy stuff there as well as order stuff. In stock stuff is not taxed.

Because there are certain Vets that vote against this bill.

I don't know why. It would be beneficial to everyone. I have an exchange two blocks away.

Dallas VAMC asks people to go there. They really have some good prices on generic over the counter meds and I buy cases of ensure for $16.50

They have posted how patients can order online.

Will be at another Hospital on Friday so I will try to use that one and see what they say. The one I will be at on Friday is the Headquarters of the one they told me no at.

It has to be at a VA Medical Hospital Canteen and not a Post Xchange

I don't know why but that is the way it is.

Thanks....If I remember right one is a canteen and one is an exchange.....so there lies the problem. Thanks again.
