That number is DOUBLE that of those not on Medicaid.
When we talk about cutting Medicaid, or letting premiums expire, know that access to critical mental health care for our vets suffering in ways we can't understand, is being stripped away.
What's going to happen to the unalive rate for Vets now?

The last point I want to highlight is that Vets with Chronic Conditions rely on Medicaid for access to care. More specifically, for MH/SUD treatment
In the last year, 41% of veterans on medicaid sought MH or SUD treatment

Exactly. It takes away the leverage. It makes each dollar spent on health insurance *less* powerful. And to 🍆🥔, you losing is just as good as him winning.
This echoes the conservative counterargument to union rights a century ago, the so-called "liberty of contract."
As FDR's Interior Secretary Harold Ickes noted, that kind of "liberty" merely gave helpless individuals the freedom to "drive a bargain with a great corporation."
