insurance

I've never been a veteran since my draft number from the lottery was 144, the last year they had the draft when the Vietnam War was winding down in 1974. So I can't tell you about the benefits from the VA. But I cover my wife through my job during an open enrollment period each November. You should get yourself covered by your wife at her job whenever her benefits enrollment comes around this year just for the security. At my job  it's not a whole lot more  money than covering myself. Nobody has ever asked us about her medical history so I don't think they would of you. With the worst case scenario they might not cover your pre-existing conditions for the first year. But that would give you a 12 month window to look into the VA and see what they have to offer.......

Greetings Cave88.  Typically, during open enrollment there are few if any limitations on enrolling so you may want to do that with your wifes coverage at her work.  Also, there is a change in status provision which will sometimes allow you to access her coverage at a time other than open enrollment. 

While I have never been to the VA medical system as I have always had good insurance, I have had others tell me that as a Vietnam era veteran, I am eligible if I ever need it.  I could also get prescriptions filled there with a limited copay.  You might want to check it out.

Here's hoping that your job will not be lost and all this will be a moot point.  David
