Any doctor who actually denies treatment over political affiliation or marital status should immediately and irrevocably lose their license.
Conservatives are traitors to our nation and enemies of the American people.
“Oh you voted Republican? Sorry you voted to deny this care, goodbye”
“Wait not like that”
Of course that won’t actually happen, because an ethical doctor would treat people regardless.
Doctors could just stop working for VA hospitals cuz they don’t want to worry about being fired due to the same reasons.
Sorry veterans, your president has disincentivized doctors wanting to work in VA hospitals.
“the best I can do is horse medicine”
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.
Sort of. We’re already seeing it with abortions; doctors are doing the best they can to give people necessary care, while also trying to not violate the law.
This has already resulted in deaths.
And honestly I don’t blame them. Even if they break the law to save one life, they can’t treat anyone when they’re jailed.
