U.S. Representative Mike Bost, who serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, has expressed support for a recent decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA, led by Secretary Doug Collins, announced plans to phase out medical transgender treatments.
In a statement released today, Bost said: "The Department of Veterans Affairs shouldn't be a battlefield in the Left's war on truth - and our taxpayer dollars shouldn't pay for transgender treatments at the VA. There are two God-given genders with unique needs and differences that don't disappear or reverse at the whim of woke bureaucrats."
Bost further praised President Donald Trump for his role in this decision, stating: "We are fortunate to have a president like Donald Trump who isn't afraid to restore common sense at the VA and refocus the agency 100% on serving the needs of America’s veterans."
The announcement marks a significant shift in policy regarding medical treatments offered by the VA.
