Democracy Now! takes a look at a new study finding 2200 veterans die from lack of health insurance. The house just passed by a slim margin the health-care bill that limited womens reproduction rights, but covers 30 million more Americans than the current system. Senator Reid has said that they will pass health-care by Christmas. Is that soon enough? Will the senate avoid a filibuster? When will America have a just health-care system?

Nobody dies of "lack of insurance." Their illnesses, age or injuries killed them.
Socialist tripe.

Don't veterans get health care through the VA? Is this an arguement for government run health care or against it?
