Military Pharmacies Tell Arizona Active Duty Soldiers, Veterans, And Their Families There Is No Money For Prescriptions

 Active duty soldiers, veterans, and their families in southern Arizona are being told by pharmacies located on federal military bases that their prescriptions cannot be renewed due to lack of funding.

He added, "Our federal government can do all of this, but yet they can't ensure that active duty military service members, their dependents and retirees, obtain the medications they need for illnesses and injuries that they sustained on military service and were promised to them for their honorable service to the nation."

The Walgreens near Ft. Huachuca, located in Sierra Vista, confirmed that "Many" customers unable to fill their prescriptions at the military pharmacy were coming there instead, where they were required to pay for their medications.

A source who preferred not to be identified told The Sun Times that multiple pharmacies in Arizona are reporting receiving customers from military bases when they run out of funding, which usually occurs at this time of the month since the funding runs out on the 15th of each month.

Terrence Hayes, press secretary for the Veterans Administration, helped clarify that this shortage did not affect veterans who receive their prescriptions through the VA. "Our VA pharmacies are fully operational, and we have not heard any concerns associated with Veterans filling prescriptions," he told The Sun Times.

"All Veterans should be able to fill their prescriptions as they normally would, without paying out-of-pocket costs aside from their usual copays." He explained that the VA does not provide healthcare to active-duty military members, as the Department of Defense covers them with its TRICARE coverage.

An article published by the Military Officers Association of America last October expressed concern that cuts were being made to TRICARE and the military health system.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
