Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ.
VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says.
Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

Voters reject vouchers for a reason: In Arizona, voucher costs soared from $100M to $400M+, fueling budget deficits and draining public schools. Tax dollars now flow to the wealthiest, deepening inequality. This is what systemic inequality looks like. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
No-Limit Vouchers Are Blowing Up Arizona’s Budget. This Woman Is Leading the Way.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.
