In 2008, 2000+ veterans died due to lack of health insurance. They were working people that did not qualify for Medicaid or VA care.

California Healthline reports, “The researchers found that in 2008, 1,461,615 veterans ages 18 to 64 were uninsured. The Department of Veterans Affairs extends health care services only to veterans who become disabled as a result of military service.”
