🚨🚨 Trump’s VA just allowed doctors to deny care to Democrats, unmarried Veterans, among other groups.
This isn’t healthcare. It’s political purity tests for people who risked their lives for this country.
It’s unethical, authoritarian, and every one of us should be outraged.

House budget bill would lead bottom income quintile to lose ~4% of their income on average ($800), but top percentile would see their incomes rise 4% (nearly $70,000).
