#HumanGarbage #Trump says of #US
#ServiceMembers [for whom he has clearly expressed his #disrespect] #KIA that he will note “their deaths”

Trump made the comments in a ~6min video on social media Sunday afternoon.

He called the service members “true American patriots who have made the ‘ultimate sacrifice’ for ‘our’ nation, even as we continue the ‘righteous’ mission for which they gave their lives.”

You are nothing to him. You are kindling.

#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.

The Dept of #VeteransAffairs plans to abruptly eliminate as many as 35k #healthcare positions this month, mostly unfilled #jobs including #doctors, #nurses & #support staff, acc/to an internal memo, #VA staffers & congressional aides.

The cuts come after a massive reorganization effort already resulted in the loss of almost 30k employees this year.
