Democracy Now! Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009

On a special Veteran’s Day program: a new study estimates more than 2,200 U.S. veterans died in 2008 due to lack of health insurance, and we talk to the report’s co-author, Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, professor of medicine at Harvard University; a report on sexual assaults, inadequate healthcare and other issues facing women servicemembers; and we hear from Greg Keesling, who received a letter last week from the VA asking that his son "complete Post Deployment Adjustment." But Chance Keesling had killed himself in Iraq five months earlier. "Democracy Now!" is a daily independent newshour.
