Partially true. 47 has an established record of overruling recommendations and granting access to those unfit to have it.

Retired veterans have subsidized health insurance as a benefit of retirement (20+ years of service). Retired veterans who do not also have a VA disability rating of 30%+ may use military hospitals (active duty military employees) or, more often, private medical facilities like most Americans.

This is a big difference as VA Healthcare is provided at VA hospitals by VA employees. These cuts at the VA will hurt DISABLED VETS exclusively, not retired veterans. ONLY DISABLED VETERANS!

@nicollewallace.bsky.social the VA provides health care for disabled veterans, exclusively. Veterans are treated for service-connected disabilities when rated at 30%+ service connected disability.

Plain and simple they're all Nazis

Can't say I haven't come back to this potential solution more than a few times. Both sides can start over with their ideal constitutions. Give it 10 years before it's final to allow for adjustments to keep everyone happy. It might even happen that both sides agree to work together and reunite.

Federal employees are taking notice. However, we've been deemed to be lazy and worthless so, we aren't being heard.

Raise prices or profits tank. No blood in that turnip, no alternative facts to cover real losses. They can hide it short term but I doubt long enough to avoid being held responsible. We shall see.

I'm not sure how much longer "united" states will play, either, unfortunately.

My cousin works in that industry and I don't think even he understands the basics of supply/demand. I'm not sure we convince enough of the logic without a significant crash.

59 according to the story.

Disability pensions are on this list too. That will hit many in the pocketbook and get their attention...me included.
