As the rollicking presidential campaign of New York real estate mogul Donald Trump recently took a moment to put forth a policy proposal or two, Floridians may have noticed one that seemed familiar. “Under a Trump Administration, all veterans eligible for VA health care can bring their veteran’s ID card to any doctor or care facility that […]
