How the failure to expand Medicaid under Obamacare is hurting veterans. "The failure of some states to expand Medicaid is leaving a quarter-million veterans without health insurance. Many assume that all of the nation's veterans are entitled to health care through the Veteran's Administration, but that's not the case; a veteran must have served for two continuous years or the full period for which they were called to active duty in order to be eligible. There are some exceptions -- like for individuals who were discharged for a disability sustained in the line of duty -- but about 1.3 million veterans remain uninsured nationwide."Adrianna McIntyre in Vox.
