    WASHINGTON (AFP) – The number of US veterans who died in 2008 because they lacked health insurance was 14 times higher than the US military death toll in Afghanistan that year, according to a new study.

    The analysis produced by two Harvard medical researchers estimates that 2,266 US military veterans under the age of 65 died in 2008 because they lacked health coverage and had reduced access to medical care.

    You won't get many dead enders responding to this thread. They are in agreement that the only people who are uninsured in this country are the 20 somethings who don't want it.

    Since access to insurance does not assure access to care, presumably this problem will remain, even if health care reform passes.

    Don't you need income to pay taxes?

    It's a shame the government wastes so much money and spends money they don't have on things the country does not need.

    Think about this my beloved Spurstalkers, if the government does not even care about their sacred soldiers, do you really think they care about you?

    Every man for himself.

    I'm not a millionaire. I have an income. Any reason you talked about it? Most people would think that's pretty rude.

    This thread isn't about what I make. It's about whether my tax dollars should be used to keep a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing sosalists alive.

    And yet you were so quick to compare incomes.

    You asked. I answered. My mistake. I'm sorry for being offended by the fact you'd even care. It's none of your ing business, or the thread topic- as you well know.

    I guess I'm sorry for indulging your loser ass. In the future I'll avoid this by ignoring your moronic detours.

    Now, do you have anything to say about veterans? Do you hope the GOP continues to kill them through neglect?

    this is a great example of how great government rationed care is.

    ""The priority eight group, the lowest priority, are veterans above the very poor group who have no other reason to be eligible and that group is essentially shut out of the VA," according to Himmelstein."

    I'm all for increasing the defense budget to cover veterans for LIFE. They deserve it for the sacrifice they make for thier country. As for those other people you mentioned, not so much.
