Another waste of time by Jaime Herrera.

Herrera is working double-overtime to become the master of confusing "Motion" with "Action."

In her latest of many worthless gestures, she had a few lines added to the budget to "request a full review and report from the U.S. Office of the Inspector General on mobile medical units tasked with serving rural veterans."

Why "request?"  Why not "require?"

Here's the thing:  If Herrera actually wants to do something that provides an immediate impact, then she should have included language that would have REQUIRED the VA to match the generic drug prices of non-VA pharmacies, or at minimum, make the offer to provide script so these drugs can be purchased at non-VA facilities.

For example, the common drug hydrochlorothiazide.

Buy 3 months worth at the VA?

$27

Buy 3 months at Fred Meyers, or Walgreen, or Costco or others?

$10

The savings to the veteran?

$68 per year for that one drug.  And to many veterans on a fixed income, that can REALLY make a difference, unlike this self-flagellating, unimportant, hooray-for-me garbage this fake congresswoman is doing.
