Why should fascists like Denis pay for vets healthcare, or anybody for
that matter.
Although many Americans believe that the nation's veterans have
ready access to health care, that is far from the case. A new study by
researchers at the Harvard Medical School has found that millions of
veterans and their dependents have no access to care in veterans'
hospitals and clinics and no health insurance to pay for care
elsewhere. Their plight represents yet another failure of our
disjointed health care system to provide coverage for all Americans.
The new study, published in the American Journal of Public Health,
estimated that in 2004 nearly 1.8 million veterans were uninsured and
unable to get care in veterans' facilities. An additional 3.8 million
members of their households faced the same predicament. All told, this
group made up roughly 12 percent of the huge population of uninsured
Americans.
