DeepL:

„Äußerst beunruhigend und unethisch“: Neue Vorschriften erlauben es Ärzten der Veteranenbehörde, Demokraten und unverheiratete Veteranen die Behandlung zu verweigern.

Das Ministerium für Veteranenangelegenheiten erklärt, die Änderungen seien eine Reaktion auf eine Verordnung von Trump zum „Schutz von Frauen“.

    While I’m very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:

    Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

    So they can also refuse to treat e.g. republicans and married veterans.

      Problem is that good people wont do that, and bad people side with republicans so the only side thatl get hurt is as the headline describes.

      That’s how it is in “both-sides” lala land but it’s always going to be the pro-fascist side that abuses it the most

        Sure, it’s just important to recognize when abuse happens in the absence of law, and when abuse is law, as it would be for a law targeting Democrats and unmarried explicitly.
