#PresidentBonkers wants to drive up demand for health care insurance. Of course that means his cronies controlling the insurance supply get ever richer at the expense of the people who have given the most to defend America and its values.
A true patriot.

But the #Trump admin has said it wants more #veterans to seek treatment outside the government system. Political appointees at #VA & their allies have also said they favor a leaner #healthcare workforce because they think #physicians & other #health care providers could be more productive, said one former appointee who is close to the Trump team.

The #health system grew by tens of thousands of employees under the #Biden admin as more #veterans enrolled in #VA #healthcare after passage of the #PACTAct, which expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. Then-secretary Denis McDonough urged veterans to be seen by VA doctors rather than request referrals to private practitioners outside the system.

Agency leaders have instructed managers across the #Veterans #Health Administration, the agency’s #healthcare arm, to identify thousands of openings that can be canceled. Employees warn that the contraction will add pressure to an already stretched system, contributing to longer wait times for care.

#VA plans to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of #healthcare #jobs
Strains on the #VeteransAffairs system could grow with the elimination of as many as 35,000 mostly unfilled #health care positions, including #doctors & #nurses.

Yesterday, the federal #ReligiousLibertyCommission held a hearing on #ReligiousLiberty in the #Military.
The Announcement of the hearing said in part:
The hearing’s objective will be to understand the historic landscape of #religious #liberty in military, recognize present threats to religious liberty in military contexts, and identify opportunities to strengthen religious liberty for all #servicemembers for the future.

"The #US #Senate passed a bill introduced by #Kansas #Republican Sen. Jerry Moran to establish a 10-year program to identify #Jewish-#American #servicemembers interred in #cemeteries overseas with markers that didn’t properly indicate the individual’s #religious heritage.
The measure sent to the U.S. #House would allocate $500,000 annually to the American Battle Monuments Commission for research on members of the #armedforces who could have been mistakenly memorialized. The commission would be responsible for contacting surviving descendants to determine whether the family was able to confirm an error and, if so, decide whether to have the #gravemarker replaced.
Operation Benjamin, a #nonprofit organization working to preserve memories of #JewishAmerican men and women who gave their lives in #WorldWarII, estimated at least 600 had been incorrectly buried overseas under a #Latincross rather than a #StarofDavid."
“Our #servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the #Constitution & obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,”the #Democrats said in the stmnt.
"But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite & condemn the President’s calls for our #murder & #PoliticalViolence. This is a time for moral clarity."
National POW/MIA Recognition Day is observed on the third Friday of September each year. We honor those who were prisoners of war and those who are missing in action, as well as their families.
