One of the most recent trends in the post COVID era is the mass importation of doctors who were never credentialed or took residency in the US. This is so prevalent now that as of July 2025, 17 states (mostly red states including Florida and Texas) have passed legislation requiring no residency or medical schooling for foreign doctors to practice in the US, 3 (Wa, Cal, NY) have limited licensing pending full, 7 have pending legislation for full, legislation has failed in 8 states.
This is constantly swept under the rug as health outcomes are getting worse and congress still refuses to tell the AMA to go fuck themselves and increase US trained doctors while eliminating DEI admits. It’s now going to be cheaper for an American to go to medical school and do residency overseas then come back to the US.
If you think the socialized Medicaid/care and pharmaceutical industry is corrupt now, wait until 500k more jeet doctors are imported.
While I don't want Pajeets as doctors, "US medical standards" are absolutely garbage anyway. Thailand medical and dental facilities are a million times better and cheaper. I won't go anywhere else.
Agreed. American doctors suck too. Not entirely their fault with all the rules and regulations basically making them insurance monkeys, but I think that’s the bigger issue than the jeets. Still don’t want the jeets though. Rather have things be deregulated. The average person now is about as competent as a doctor for most minor things after a quick search. Sometimes better. I have an unlimited number of bad doctor stories.
