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’

www.theguardian.com

I just dnt understand how this can be legal in any way.
At the very least it must be a breach if contract When the first veteran challenges this in court then it all comes crashing down.
Pergaps trump doesnt understand what he signed ?

The Guardian?

First, the vast majority of VA employees are Democrats, second you link admits this is all BS assumptions and speculation.

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You can't prove that, OKTexas.

They reflect their communities. For instance, at the SF VA hospital, most would be democrats. At the little VA outpatient clinics in the suburban-rural South and Midwest, Republicans would likely dominate the work force.

Fake News!

AI Overview


Some sources indicate that doctors and medical staff at the Veterans Affairs (VA) are upset with policies under the Trump administration. Reasons for concern expressed by doctors and staff include:

• Changes to medical facility bylaws: Some sources report changes that would enable doctors and medical staff to deny veterans care based on their marital status and political views, and would allow the department to discriminate against providers on the same basis in hiring. This has been described as "extremely disturbing and unethical" and has raised concerns about compromising veterans' care and eliminating diversity among VA providers.
• Sweeping cuts and staffing shortages: Reports detail staff shortages and cuts impacting critical areas, including life-saving cancer trials. One doctor expressed concerns about losing medical licenses due to providing care under these conditions and about colleagues leaving the VA system.
• Restrictions on remote work: President Trump's decision to rescind remote work arrangements for federal employees has led to crowded conditions in some VA facilities, forcing the VA to scramble for office space.
• Potential impact on research: The administration's policies could negatively affect research conducted through the VA, with some researchers fearing layoffs.
• Overall impact on veterans' care: Some sources suggest that the Trump administration's policies are destabilizing mental health care for veterans and could lead to longer wait times and reduced access to necessary care.

Artificial Intelligence. LOL. Try using the real thing. Some sources? Reports? Could negatively affect...? And again, Some sources? Where did this AI get its info, CNN? Try again and this time try naming your sources and ditch the crystal ball. SMFH

You are nobody to criticize objective evidence gathering.

That is does not agree with you at times means the problem is yours, sunshine.

The OP is horse shit is the AI notes. In our VA outpatient clinic in its brand new building the HR honcho says there has been not cuts and none are being seen in the future. You need to calm down, sunshine.,

STFU unless you are ready to provide the sources that were cited in that AI BS. There are none. I've been dealing with the VAHC for over 30 years and the worst periods for care were during the Obama and Biden admins. So run along unless you can substantiate your BS. You haven't to date so I won't hold my breath.

You don't provide sources, you horse's ass. I had great care from Bush on in 2001 all through Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again. Just shut up and sit down. My source was the VA outpatient clinic HR manager. By the by, the care at Nellis and Whalen community care has been wonderful,

new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats​

Dems are gross and refuse to bathe so, yeah.

The UK King does not permit them.

Yeah, tell me how easy it was to navigate the BS Cerner system that has changed three times in six years taking the online MyHealtheVet system through iterations that are designed to discourage your use. We don't all live outside a base, moron. The care at the facilities is great--they don't have anything at all to do with the online. Now, STFU, you're a jaded POS that wouldn't find fault with the democrats if they hung you with a new rope.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Concerned American is talking through his ass. I don't live outside a base, you moron. I got an Outpatient Clinic. Sit down, shut up, and learn.

 

[Concerned American]

I got an Outpatient Clinic.

From your post. By the by, the care at Nellis. Did they decommission Nellis AFB. Last I heard that was a base, hence the "B". STFU.

PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT


In an emailed response to questions, the VA press secretary, Peter Kasperowicz, did not dispute that language requiring medical staff to treat patients without discriminating on the basis of politics and marital status had been removed from the bylaws , but he said

>>>>>>> “all eligible veterans will always be welcome at VA and will always receive the benefits and services they’ve earned under the law”.<<<<<<<<
