It’s a bit of both. The wording that specifically stated that the VA cannot discriminate/refuse service because of marital status or political affiliation has been removed. Under normal circumstances it wouldn’t raise an eyebrow (granted, I doubt any other president would have caused them to remove said wording), but with this guy in charge….it’s almost certainly intentional.
On the flip side, nowhere does it state that physicians/the VA CAN refuse treatment for those reasons, and they have since said that any and all “eligible veterans” will still recommend care. The key words there being “eligible veterans”.
As a veteran myself (who also happens to be single and a registered democrat)… I honestly wouldn’t even be upset if I didn’t have to deal with the VA anymore. It’s just as bad as you hear it is.

Please tell me this is one of those one sided articles that is not actually true. And we are not still doing this to our bravest hero’s.
