Hey veterans, need to go to the VA? Just be aware that if you are a Democrat or unmarried, you can be refused service. If you are an unmarried Democrat? Better not even bother.

Oh, and this extends to working at the VA. Unmarried, Democrat, etc., don't bother trying to work for the VA, they can say "**** off".

VA hospitals remove politics and marital status from guidelines protecting patients from discrimination

Department of Veterans Affairs says the changes come in response to a Trump executive order ‘defending women’

I would hope this would never happen.
 
Forget unethical. How is this legal?

Are you going to post the EO?
 
where in that article does it say " refuse to treat Democrats " ??

the opening line is "Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."

never says why or how

I am at the VA right now, and they are not asking me if I am single or a democrat. Waiting to see the cardiologist for my regular 6 month appointment.

Trump gave the greenlight to ask if you are single or a democrat and the right to refuse to treat you.
It's at the discretion of the medical staff.

Thank you for repeating the OP. I might not have known what it said otherwise.

I am going to go out on a limb and bet this is going to be almost completely a nonissue.

These rules would also allow doctors to refuse to treat republicans as well.

True, but they'd be fired for that in Trump's admin.

Tell me, do you feel this is in anyway healthy?

How can you defend this? Do you know how depraved your post sounds?

How is this any kind of shock whatsoever?

That's a strange bet to make when seemingly everything we have been assured Trump wouldn't do, he ends up doing.

gotcha

the VA "could" do a lot of things - this is a fear mongering piece, nothing more

We were told all of the things about Trump as president were "fear mongering" before the election, and he's turned out to be even worse than predicted. So any negative possibilities with Trump are probabilities.
