Bush tells vets once again to go Cheney themselves. Let them eat cake (or start a company with friends of daddy.)
The number of uninsured veterans jumped by 235,000 since 2000, meaning they are losing health insurance at a faster rate than the general population, said Physicians for a National Health Program...
...the report traced some of the increase to the Bush administration's decision last year to suspend health care services for higher-income veterans in order to reduce waiting times for doctor's appointments.
Other veterans reported that they were on waiting lists for appointments, could not afford co-payments or lived in communities with no veterans' facilities, the report said.Another 3.9 million people without health insurance live in veterans' households and also are ineligible for veterans' health care, the report said.
