Trump order denies treatment to US army veterans; political allegiance and marital status new criteria; doctors allowed to reject patients

In United States, Veterans Affairs hospitals face new rules. These rules permit doctors to refuse treatment. Refusal can be based on patient's traits like political affiliation or marital status. Earlier, such discrimination was prohibited. The VA maintains all veterans are welcome. Critics worry about access to care, especially for rural veterans. Medical groups are opposing the changes.
