VA policy change: New VA policy sparks outrage as doctors may refuse treatment to Democrats and unmarried veterans alike - The Economic Times
A controversial VA policy change, stemming from a Trump-era executive order, allows VA doctors to potentially refuse treatment to veterans based on political beliefs or marital status. Critics fear this could disproportionately affect female, LGBTQ+, and rural veterans.
New VA policy sparks outrage as doctors may refuse treatment to Democrats and unmarried veterans alike
A new VA policy has sent shockwaves through both veteran communities and the medical community. The change, which follows a Trump-era executive order, has already raised serious ethical and legal concerns.
A contentious policy change at the Department of Veterans Affairs allows VA doctors to refuse treatment to veterans based on their political beliefs or marital status. Critics describe it as discriminatory and dangerous.
What exactly changed in the VA policy?
Psychologists, dentists, and a variety of other professions are subject to the new regulations. The new regulations have already taken effect in certain VA medical facilities, as per a report by The Guardian.Executive order "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government" issued by the president on January 30 is cited by VA officials as the reason for the modifications.
Regardless of race, colour, religion, or sex, medical personnel are still expected to treat veterans, and all veterans still have the right to care. However, since federal law does not specifically forbid it, individual employees are now free to refuse to provide patient care due to personal characteristics.
VA hospitals have the authority to exclude physicians and other medical personnel on the basis of union activity, marital status, or political party affiliation. Impacted are certified clinical social workers, podiatrists, speech therapists, chiropractors, CNPs, and optometrists, as per a document, reported The Guardian.
The executive order sought to deny the majority of government protections to transgender individuals. The VA no longer offers the majority of gender-affirming care and has prohibited the use of terms like "gender affirming" and "transgender" in clinical settings.
Has there been any response?
The VA press secretary, Peter Kasperowicz, responded to inquiries via email, saying that all eligible veterans will always be welcome at the VA and will always receive the benefits and services they have earned under the law.However, he did not dispute that the new rules allowed doctors to refuse to treat veteran patients based on their beliefs or that doctors could be fired based on their political affiliation or marital status.

The VA's Kasperowicz did not contest the report that the rule changes were implemented without consulting the system's doctors.

Loose Ends Singer Jane Eugene Reportedly Detained by ICE Over 19-Year Visa Overstay
Loose Ends Singer Jane Eugene Reportedly Detained by ICE Over 19-Year Visa Overstay Loose Ends Singer Jane Eugene Reportedly Detained by ICE Over 19-Year Visa Overstay
British-born R&B singer Jane Eugene, best known as the voice behind the ’80s hit-making group Loose Ends, is reportedly in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after overstaying her visa by nearly two decades.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Eugene is currently being held at an ICE detention facility in upstate New York near the Canadian border. The singer, who has lived and worked in the United States for years, is now facing possible deportation and serious immigration consequences, including a potential 10-year ban on reentry.
Eugene rose to fame in the mid-1980s as a key member of Loose Ends, the British R&B group known for chart-topping tracks like “Hanging on a String (Contemplating)” and “Slow Down.” In recent years, she has led a U.S.-based version of the band, performing live shows and remaining active in the American music circuit.
Her reported immigration status has come as a shock to fans and industry peers, many of whom were unaware of her visa troubles. Legal experts note that a visa overstay of this length—19 years—typically triggers removal proceedings and could have long-term implications on her ability to return to the United States, even if she voluntarily departs.
At this time, no official statement has been released from Eugene or her representatives. It is unclear whether she has legal counsel or plans to contest the deportation proceedings.
"Too late" is his nickname for Powell, and Trump's last two working brain cells could only connect to that fact instead of staying on task.
