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.
Unfortunately federal student loans got kneecapped, which is going to make it even harder for anyone to get through medical school if they aren't already from a rich family.
The effects of this won't be felt for about 7 years, since it takes a good while for someone to get through such education.
So suddenly America's doctor shortage problem will get a LOT worse since there will be far fewer new doctors entering the field to replace those that are retiring or quitting.
What do? Wellllll the damage cannot be easily fixed, since it would take about ANOTHER 7 years to undo it to allow students to afford to become doctors and get through the pipeline.
Solution? That's right. Just import some foreign doctors to patch the problem up immediately. Get yourself a nice cheap Dr. Patel to come to America to be your primary care physician. If you thought the number of asian doctors is already bad, it's going to fucking explode.
