Barry Horney

Eddie, Barry's daughter ,Jennifer, just called me and told me that Barry's operation went well. The doctor that did the first operation went into the operating room upon finishing another operation to assist the doctor that was operating on Barry's second liver transplant . Barry will be sleeping until tomorrow and they will let me know when he wakes up.

His family can all rest now and get some sleep.

Dear Members,

I received a call from Frank Maraviglla and he told me that Barry received a liver transplant Friday. Barry is in St Luke’s Hospital in Jacksonville.

Joe Sanchez emailed me today that Barry had some complications with the transplant and is in ICU, at the male clinic, St Luke’s Hospital. He is awaiting another liver transplant. God willing he will not wait too long and the next transplant will be okay. God Bless Him. Joe Sanchez.

Please keep Barry in your prayers.

Old VA ID Cards to be Replaced

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced that all VA health care facilities are beginning an aggressive campaign to assure that enrolled veterans with old versions of its ID cards are issued the new Veterans Identification Card (VIC).

VA indicates that prior versions of its identification cards display sensitive information such as social security number and date of birth on the front of the card. The new VIC, which was introduced in 2004, removed the sensitive information from the face of the card.

VHA estimates that between 3 and 4 million enrolled veterans have not yet been issued a new VIC. VA hopes to complete the massive replacement program within the next 12 months.

For more information about the new VIC card, contact your Medical Center's Eligibility & Enrollment Office or visit the VA's Eligibility Web site at

Wal-Mart expanding $4 generic drug program statewide

Wal-Mart Stores, reacting to what it described as a "considerable response" to a test program in Tampa in which it offers nearly 300 generic prescription drugs for dramatically reduced rates, announced today that it will expand the program statewide starting TODAY.

The world's biggest retailer, during a press conference in Orlando, also said it was expanding the list of generic drugs it will sell for $4 per prescriptions from 291 to 314. The program will also include as many as 143 drug compounds as well as other drugs such as the oncology medicine megestrol and the cholesterol drug lovastatin.

Wal-Mart, which started testing the sales program in Tampa last month, hadn't planned to expand it statewide until January. But it said today it had changed its mind based on public comment and the urging of Gov. Jeb Bush.

As of Friday, the $4 prescriptions will be available at 235 Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market and Sam's Club pharmacies across Florida. The drugs covered include common medicines used to treat conditions such as allergies, cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.
