Who Are The Uninsured Veterans and Where Do They Live?

This May 2012 report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Urban Institute presents the demographic characteristics of nonelderly veterans and their family members by insurance status as well as the number of uninsured veterans by state. One in 10 of the nation’s 12.5 million nonelderly veterans reports neither having health insurance coverage nor using VA health care. While veterans are less likely than the rest of the nonelderly population to be uninsured, there are an estimated 1.3 million uninsured veterans nationwide.
