    Any doctor who actually denies treatment over political affiliation or marital status should immediately and irrevocably lose their license.

    Denying care to veterans (i.e. people potentially with extensive weapons and combat training and, perhaps desperately, in need of healing to feel okay and socially stable) seems like a great way for health care professionals to find themselves at the business end of anger-fueled reactions.

      It’s obviously by design. They’re hoping the affected vets will take it out on the medical personnel. And the worst part is they’re probably right.

        Violence, especially “left-wing violence”, is the fastest way for them to tighten their grip on the reins of power. Just as Israel bombs Hamas with complete disregard for civilian lives the Trump admin could start arresting and deporting anyone with “far left” ties because it’s too risky to just let those people walk free or they’re giving “aid or comfort” to domestic terrorists.

    Don’t medical personnel have to take a Hippocratic oath? And doesn’t that supersede changing laws?

    I suppose in real life, cash is king, and morality is decided by the amount of digits in your bank account.

      Fuck this sentiment.

        Active duty and former military voted overwhelmingly for this.

        Sorry for the folks who got fucked over, but as for the ones who voted for it, enjoy that bed.

        The third that didn’t vote are just as guilty as the third who voted for this because they saw what was possible and decided they didn’t care if it happened.

          Yeah, it’s weird how “both sides” but none of this nonsense bullshit was happening just a few months ago when Democrats were calling the shots.

          Conservative leadership always leads to instability. Always.

        Just like the rest of us who are not in that country but have to deal with your choices are free to bitch and sling mud.
