The cost of keeping the post office afloat is part of the cost of mailing medicine to veterans.

Again, irrelevant. Yes, of course it's part of the cost of mailing the medicine to veterans, but it's the part that we're talking about.
The cost of mailing medicine to veterans is _part_ of the cost of keeping the post office afloat. Other parts of that cost are the problem, and private alternatives which charge higher rates for infrequently recurring mail are actually less expensive to the government.
The high risk loans and bailouts given to the post service are absolutely more expensive than mailing medicine to veterans.
