The thing is, VA care is equal in quality and half the cost. And when we close VA wards and clinics, it’s not like small rural community hospitals can make up the difference. We need to end the scarcity mindset around healthcare wapo.st/4q4Lx58
VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of health care jobs
Strains on the Veterans Affairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled health care positions, including doctors and nurses.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Trump's m.o. is to get underlings to do things that are unlawful, or beyond the pale so they are commited to him. If military personnel do follow unlawful orders, their safest bet as individuals would be to continue supporting Trump or a candidate least likely to prosecute them, when he is gone.
