The Veterans Affairs health system does not pay for health insurance for all veterans. For those veterans who do not have their health coverage fully paid for, they remain uninsured due to their failure to enroll or because they live in states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and do not qualify for coverage.
According to the report, the veterans at the largest risk of remaining uninsured are young, low-income African American veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
