Veterans Affairs chief Doug Collins looks to slash agency--even if veterans suffer

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump’s secretary of veterans affairs is bragging about his plans to make more cuts to the department and its health care system.

Doug Collins told the New York Post in an interview published March 22 that the VA is “not an employment agency” as the department scurries to cut hundreds of contracts and slash various programs from available health coverage.

While the former House member claimed he wasn’t getting rid of vital veterans’ health care, he quickly added that treatment for transgender veterans did not fit the bill of necessary medical care.

Collins specifically targeted gender-affirming care and medical services offered to transgender people. According to data supplied to the Post by the agency, transgender veterans make up one-tenth of 1% of 9.1 million veterans enrolled in the VA’s health care program.
