Mass is not the VA or Biden Admin.

A Dem is a Dem.

A Dem is a Dem.

Is that why Trump has pretty much chosen an all white cabinet, MAWA.

Trump continued to increase votes among Blacks….. all without threatening to take away them being Black like Biden did.

Monkeys could fly out of Pelosi's butt, too. Not very likely tho.

More likely than the OP though.

President-elect Donald Trump's newly created Department of Government Efficiency could impact health care for veterans if plans to cut appropriations for expired bills go ahead.

Trump announced on Tuesday that Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy would spearhead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, once he takes office in January. Trump said DOGE, which will not be an official government department, will "slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies."

Ramaswamy, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination before suspending his campaign in January, has since said that money spent on expired government programs should be stopped. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Ramaswamy cited the $516 billion spent on expired acts for the 2024 fiscal year.

"There are 1,200+ programs that are no longer authorized but still receive appropriations," which he described as "totally nuts" and advocated for saving "hundreds of billions" of dollars each year by "defunding government programs that Congress no longer authorizes."

Legislative authorities can expire and continue to receive appropriations—a law of Congress that provides an agency with budget authority—subject to congressional reauthorization. Among those expired appropriations is the Veteran's Health Care Eligibility Act, which amounted to $119 billion in government spending for 2024.

The act provides health care benefits to those who have served in active military, naval, or air service and did not receive a dishonorable discharge. It covers outpatient services like health appointments, immunizations, nutrition education, and inpatient services such as surgeries, acute care, and some conditions or injuries that may require urgent care. The act expired in 1998 but has been continually funded.

For all my fellow veterans who voted for this idiot don't start crying when they screw us over.

Vets with service related injuries will continue to receive care

But serve two years stateside and get healthcare for life may be on the way out

There is no one who served 2yrs without a service related issue that is receiving healthcare for life. Why do you fools just blatantly lie all the time.

Not sure what you call a Black man that takes it in the ass from Biden when he dictates that their Black heritage is dependent on voting for him.

It's a freaking cliche parroted by the left when they have nothing else to say. Why should we trust Newsweek when it was part of the big lie about Biden?

Trump creates a new government agency to reduce the size of government and make it more efficient.

Cute asshole. The surprise might be coming from Elmo

Such short memories of what happened last time 8 years ago.

Vets were in waiting lists Forever and in some cases died before getting seen.

Trump used Vouchers so they could be seen outside the VA.

The duscussion back then was this is what govt care looks like.
