I have it. Costs me $98 a month. I also have a BCBS supplement with drug coverage that costs another $58 per month. Then, the VA backs it all up.
I'd considered scrapping it and just sticking with the VA as I'm rated 40% disabled and happen to live 25 miles from an outstanding VA outpatient clinic. But, there's a loophole that a VA rep pointed out to me.
Say I had a heart attack, or something equally dire, and went to the ER at a local hospital. The local hospital would stabilize me or do whatever was necessary to keep me alive and kicking, and then call the VA. The VA would take over at that point and elect to either transfer me to a VA inpatient hospital or simply leave me at the local hospital with the VA picking up the tab. The catch is, I would be responsible for any costs incurred between the time I arrived at the hospital and the time the VA took over. And in the event of a heart attack, emergency surgery, or whatever, those first few hours can cost many thousands of dollars.
Right now, I'm kinda waiting to see what our glorious Congress is going to cobble together. For my part, I'd as soon they didn't do anything. Right now, I know what my options are and what they cost me, and basically I'm cool with it.
