Really Congressman! Between 1978 - 2000, not a single new medical school was added. The only one added since 2000, was Florida State University. This was a direct result of legislation signed by Governor Ron DeSantis.
In 1997, Congress froze the number of medical residencies it would fund and only in a 2021 appropriations act, opted to fund 1,000 more residencies that would be filled over the course of a few years.
In short, despite an ample and motivated supply of native talent to meet the demand for doctors and other skilled practitioners, Congress has opted to do NOTHING!
And why is it instead of investing in our own people, these clowns in Congress always opt for more immigration? Moreover, they never seem to ask, what is the impact on the sending country, when their doctors split to the USA.
The AAMC projects a shortage of physicians in the USA between 37,800 and 124,00 after 2034. We need to get serious about addressing that shortfall. And the only way is by creating and not importing more physicians. Because quality of healthcare matters as well.
