Dear susie29526,
Not having seen the commercial, I may not be clear on what they are saying, but, my VA healthcare sends my prescriptions directly to me via mail, and I don't even have to go to a drugstore. That is a big benefit to me, and many other veterans. Is it possible for you to get your prescriptions by mail? 

Here's a link to VA prescriptions:

Haven't seen the commercial either but the VA Meds By Mail like BettyCM said is the way to go.
