It’s about time that Congress looked into the “the state of our medical care in the U.S.”. There are many very qualified American students trying to get into a medical school but find the very few opportunities are taken by foreigners (who pay more) or that medical schools just don’t have any room for more students. It’s a crisis that is real and only getting worse everyday. Florida is a prime example of a State with an acute shortage of doctors and nurses because of the average age of the population but the problem is nationwide not just Florida. I wonder why we don’t use some of that so called surplus money in Tallahassee to expand medical school opportunities in our State? There is no question it’s desperately needed. Waiting six months to see a doctor is unacceptable.
