On the contrary, the WH has two stock answers to this and most questions: 'huh?' and 'f*ck you!'.

White House has no answer for 7 million veterans who stand to lose health care
Quote:
“What started as a bad bill has now turned into a grotesque Frankenstein monster, a crude and rushed patchwork of mini-bills that hurt people who can least afford it.
Now, we find out that Trumpcare will strip tax credits from potentially millions of veterans, and flood the VA with new patients at a time the VA is understaffed to handle a rush, thanks to the Donald Trump’s hiring freeze.
Since the freeze went into effect, we’ve already seen wait times lengthen; the claims backlog that President Obama had virtually eliminated, starting to grow again. This will only cause things to get worse.
We cannot put it more simply than this: Trumpcare will punish veterans. You cannot be pro-veteran and vote for Trumpcare.”
Well now, that doesn't even begin to account for the double standards and hypocrisy from GOPERS on this subject in particular.
Of COURSE they can give lip service to veterans while undercutting support for veterans' health care needs. It's the way they roll.
Despite the fact that veterans are a core constituency for Donald Trump (albeit one which Trump frequently harms), White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was completely unaware of the problem when asked about it by reporter John Gizzi, and unforgivably ignorant about veterans’ health care in general:
