You really think doctors will en masse refuse to treat liberal patients? I thought most (all?) of the “educated” people, including doctors, are liberal?

#2, do you think most doctors would be willing to risk their license or career over it? Cause that’s what the illegality implies.

Doesn’t mean they won’t be scared of orders from the top of being fined massively or getting their license taken away if they do.

It’s called a stepping stone. They don’t start right out the gate the fact the regime is letting them even refuse care for ppl with differing opinions is fucked enough. They all served this nation why tf should you be selective on loyalty

You should try rereading my post again, cause I clearly called THIS a stepping stone.

The change gives doctors agency to decide for themselves whether to treat a patient with consideration to the patient’s political views and martial status. It does not prohibit doctors from treating any patient.

Also they aren’t going to be giving life saving care now in terms of transgender surgeries. And they can deny union members care.

That shouldn’t be sound ground to deny a patient care

If Biden did this you’d probably be complaining about how he’s trying to get rid of Republican veterans care

Why should a doctor not be afforded with discretion to determine which patients to treat so long as those determinations do not involve discrimination against a protected class?

Individual doctors can deny care, not the VA as a whole.

#2, do you understand the very simple reality that it is now legal for the VA to kill someone in a protected class as long as they argue in court “they were a democrat and I don’t treat democrats”? If you don’t, you need to do extensive research into the ways jury selection gets around anti discrimination laws for protected classes. This is well trodden legal territory.

The VA isn’t killing anyone. The decision to treat a patient rests with the doctors at the VA.

You probably think the Colorado baker should have been forced to make a cake for the gay couple.

I’m not in favor of racial discrimination. I’m in favor of granting people as much autonomy to decide who to associate with. In some cases, that will mean repugnant discrimination.

Defending what you are defending now is the same thing as those in the 1950s were doing with segregation

#2, the Colorado baker case that the supreme court DIDN’T rule he could discriminate against gay people in? Or are you referring to the web designer case that was literally made up

Where did I mention how SCOTUS ruled in the Colorado baker case? Also, the web designer case was a pre-enforcement challenge. The case did not hinge on there already having been a violation of the Colorado law.

So we should allow racial segregation again? Or let shops have the autonomy to do so?

Where did I ever state my support for racial discrimination? Discrimination on the basis of immutable characteristics is reprehensible.

It should be allowed, but I for one wouldn’t engage in it.
