Unless you signed up within 2 years of discharge, you may not be eligible for care at at VA hospital.
Additionally, the care is only free if you qualify for 'priority' care -meaning you have service-connected illness or injury, or your income level is less than the threshold.
Please see the va.gov website
http://www1.va.gov/health/
or visit your local VA Medical Center to see if you qualify.

It is free to see a Dr. You had better figure on at least a 2 month delay in seeing one though after you make an appt. They charge a very nominal fee for prescriptions. They will send you the paperwork to fill out. It's a few pages long..no big deal.
