I dont know where in the hell you all get your information about the VA but my sister was in the Air Force for TWO years and has full benefits from the VA. FULL BENEFITS.

She served during an undeclared war also.

Matter of fact, you all are full of snit!

“VA will pay for prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care for eligible women Veterans, as well as care to newborns for the first seven days after birth for all eligible women Veterans. Many details are involved with pregnancy care.”

Make them fire her and go on unemployment.

If you're fired for cause most states won't pay you unemployment.

what is it with all these articles about moms, there is never any mention of a husband. Or did I miss it?

For what purpose would she need to mention if she has a husband in this situation? This is about her body, her work history, and the baby inside her body. Her husband didn't serve her military tours. And what if he has coverage, but losed his job before the baby is born? The rights in this situation belong to her.

That said, if the number of deaths of wanted babies in utero continues to remain significant, and assuming citizens can even obtain the true numbers, I think the fathers of these fetuses should have a right to petition for a pregnancy exception, provided that the government doesn't indemnify itself first for women or fetuses that die because of not having the vaccine.

Daily Mail already published the study that newborn babies born in the COvID era are dumber than Democraps or low-IQ.

That's a separate issue from vaccination. That's about the babies not receiving enough brain stimulation and not being able to be socialized with lots of family members relating to them, playgroups with other babies (mine started at 6 months), walks outside in strollers to gain more visual information, mothers being in mom-support groups, etc., and the effects of the relatively greater anxiety levels of the moms.

“For what purpose would she need to mention if she has a husband in this situation?”

It’s simple: she is telling us her story but if there was a second income, why then it would be a different story. And if there is no man in the life of a 5-month pregnant woman, that itself is a story worth telling, especially given the context which is the depiction of her difficult circumstances. Cue Jane Austen: it is important for young women and their parents to focus on what can go wrong when it comes to men and sex.

The number of women who “don’t need a man” is staggering. So is the number of slutty women. It’s why so many kids are messed up. I know multiple intelligent women that are total sluts. I don’t get it, but whatever…

This intelligent veteran doesn't happen to mention whether she has a husband or not, and your first instinct is to sling the "slut" smears. And you wonder why there are women who don't think they "need a man"? You're correct; you don't get it. Shame on you.

Sounds like she needs to get out of government and get a real job. As an Army vet she shouldn’t have a problem.

As she pointed out, it's hard to get a real job, or any other kind, when your pregnancy is advanced and showing. She will lose her existing coverage, or have to change doctors if she has a temporary policy, late in pregnancy. Those are pressing, immediate concerns.

Don't know where you live, but in blue states, a military background is often a trigger to reject a résumé.

Sorry, but the 1950s are over. Employers are not entitled to know a woman's marital status and it is none of your business in this situation, either. We are no longer living in the era when employers get to discount a woman's eligibility for full benefits because she is married, or not.

Either she is a full employee with the same benefits as her male co-workers and the same respect as male veterans, or she is not. if the government is going to have been so hare-brained as to make women eligible for combat, they also have to support a woman's right to equal treatment regarding benefits.

Thank you for this. I work for woke CVS and am looking into alternatives. I’ve some co-workers who share the same beliefs but don’t have the financial flexibility that I have and this is good information.

The FACT is that the FACTS are being LIED about.

You've got that right.

Just like you are LYING about your purpose for challenging the study’s authenticity.

And you know that HOW?

You are clearly not interested in investigating this objectively to find the truth. You are here to persuade.

And you know that HOW?

How much do you get for each post?

You can grow up anytime now.

You're missing a bit there - eligible women Veterans. And I don't know how your sister would get full benefits after only two years, unless she has major issues giving her a high disability rating or she has no income now! Let me clarify some of what I said. Yes, the VA will cover a lot of stuff, but they don't do it for free for most people. And Tricare coverage isn't under the VA.

https://www.va.gov/health-care/about-va-health-benefits/cost-of-care/
https://www.va.gov/health-care/eligibility/active-duty/#eligibility-after-separation

Your health care costs
We're committed to providing free health care for conditions related to military service and for Veterans with catastrophic disabilities and disability ratings of at least 50%, as well as for those who can't afford to pay for care. Learn more about how we'll determine if you'll need to pay for any part of your care.
...
If you're a Veteran who's recently separated from active duty, including active National Guard or Reserve duty, you may be eligible for VA health care for all or some of your health care needs. We’ll determine your eligibility based on your service history, VA disability rating, income, and other factors. If you had active-duty status for training purposes only, you don’t qualify for VA health care.
...
You can get free VA health care for any illness or injury that we determine is related to your military service (called "service connected").
...
You may need to pay a fixed amount for some types of care, tests, and medications you receive from a VA health care provider or an approved community health care provider to treat conditions not related to your service. This is called a copay (short for "copayment").

Why does VA require me to provide information on my health insurance coverage (including coverage under a spouse’s plan)?
We ask for this information because we have to bill your private health insurance provider for any care, supplies, or medicine we provide to treat your non-service-connected conditions (illnesses or injuries that aren’t related to your military service).
