doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their "reason for seeking care - including allegations of rape and sexual assault - current or past political party affiliation or political activity, and personal behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use".

An incredibly high number of veterans (or anyone, really) with PTSD have or had substance use disorder. A large percentage of those same veterans have MST (military sexual trauma). Quite a lot of people are discharged from the military following disclosure of being a victim of rape or sexual assault while serving. This is going to lead to more veterans killing themselves because they aren't getting the care they deserve

Hippocratic oath or hipocritical oath am I right

If it's based off "political affiliation," couldn't some doctors refuse to treat trump supporters if they were sneaky about it?

Well the problem is, only a ghoul would refuse to treat someone based on political affiliation

Would be a shame if doctors violating their oath had something bad happen to them .
