New VA Rules Would Allow Doctors To Refuse To Treat Democrats - The Logical Leftist



Are you aware of the new healthcare rules affecting veterans? In this video, we discuss the recent changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs that allow healthcare providers to refuse treatment based on personal characteristics such as marital status and political affiliation. This shift follows an executive order by President Trump aimed at redefining protections for various groups, including transgender individuals. While veterans still have rights to care, the implications of these new guidelines could lead to discrimination in treatment. We’ll break down the details, share insights from experts, and discuss how these changes could impact the lives of those who have served our country. Don’t miss this important conversation about veteran rights and healthcare access.

BTW, I see this is an individual doctor's prerogative. Will it become any doctor who treats a democratic veteran or an unmarried (or divorced) veteran will be fired summarily?
