How Failure To Expand Medicaid Under Obamacare Is Hurting Veterans



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.
