Congressman says H-1B is “critical” to fix the doctor shortage.
Reality: In NC, 97.7% of H-1Bs aren’t medical and most of the 2.3% “medical” roles aren’t doctors at all.
We’ve got visas for physical therapists, medical scientists, and hospitalists… while capping U.S. med school seats, burying students in debt, and shutting out military medics and rural kids with 4.0s.
This isn’t about patients.
It’s about keeping corporate medicine stocked with cheaper labor.
