This is probably what America is going to look like in a decade or so. The government halved the cap on grad school loans and fewer people can afford the med school. The squeeze won't be felt right away since it takes several years for someone to become a doctor, which means it'll also take several years before any decision reversing will bring it to normal. So the knee-jerk option will be to import a bunch of (cheap) foreign doctors, likely from India to meet demands.
Rural hospital closures have increased over the past twenty years. Since 2010, 136 rural hospitals have shut their doors with 37 ceasing operations since 2020 alone. Closures have left 10% of the rural population without access to an acute care hospital. An additional 600 hospitals in rural America are at risk of closing their doors in the future.
And the government really has the fucking balls to raise the retirement limit because they say were "living longer"
