When my husband joined the service in the early 80’s, he was told that if needed he would always be eligible for VA medical, he served 7 years. My Uncle served less time and has VA medical as secondary insurance, he served in the early 70’s. Has something changed?

Apparently this buyout offer included a no-insurance clause. Probably sneaked in there. Many probably didn’t know it.

I served six years, from the mid-to late 80's, and recall no such promise. Upon honorable discharge, I recall being "eligible" for certain benefits, such as a VA loan, but I recall no such litany of benefits such as health insurance or healthcare.
