"The VA is developing a policy that would allow VA doctors to write prescriptions that could be filled at non-VA pharmacies.
Currently, veterans pay $8.00 for a 30-day supply of non-service-connected medication at a VA pharmacy.
Wal-Mart has announced a $4.00 prescription plan. In many states, Wal-Mart will fill a prescription for generic drugs for just $4.00 for a 30-day supply. A number of other retailers have followed Wal-Mart's lead and announced similar plans. Target will institute a $4.00 plan in many states.
Some retailers, trying to fight Wal-Mart's "Big Box" retailing strategy, have even offered a limited number of generic medications for free."
