And if patients weren’t spending so much money on middlemen, insurers and bureaucrats, patients would have more money to pay well trained practitioners. Government pretty much blights everything it touches.

We once took our daughter to the ER. The only doctor there couldn’t speak a word of English. The nurse did her best and sent us home. We never did find out what was wrong with her. Thankfully, she was ok the next day but what if she had a turn for the worse all because of some foreign turd world doctor?

“Drs. Ahmad Masri and Mourad Senussi”

Our medical establishment cannot survive the barring of terrorists from our soil. Look how they are benefiting Europe.

Why can’t the Muslims establish an advanced civilization in the Middle East if they are so talented? Why is it necessary for them to come to a Caucasian dominated, Christian society to reach their potential?

Reminds me of Jeb! during the primaries saying that “aspirational” youth from Central America would rebuild the United States, or, in other words, re-establish in the United States the advanced society they have in Central America.

STOP ALL IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES ... FROM EVERYWHERE.

I've said that for years.

I’d like these doctors to look over the footage of everyone killed by Islamic terror these last few years. Maybe they can diagnose how healthful those attacks were to the victims. Maybe these good Muslim docs can prescribe cures for these people annihilated by their brethren.

We need more teaching hospitals in the US.

The number has remained the same for the past 40 years creating a bottleneck in educating American Doctors.

Exactly, why not? Why are our own medical schools not making more physicians, educating Americans?

Wait and see what happens if we get Single Payer.

They’ll be spanning the globe bringing in doctors willing to work for the lowest possible wage.

It’s not just physicians. It’s physicians in certain specialties that the US needs, that aren’t being graduated. Internal medicine, for example. Compound that by having fewer physicians willing to serve rural areas, not enough money, and we’ve got an almighty mess. Thanks, in large part, to government meddling.

Would you want a Muzzlime doctor operating on you if you had a Jewish surname?

Why: More debt, less money, more regulation. Why in God’s name would the best and brightest go into one of the less lucrative specialties, or general practice. Government planning is an oxymoron and a freaking menace. It’s also the biggest threat to the nation’s health.

There is a free market way to help improve the vetting process for immigrant candidates. That would be to require each person coming in to get some sort of personal liability insurance policy. See https://www.libertymutual.com/umbrella-insurance/personal-liability-coverage for an example on this. That way if the person ever needs welfare, or incurs bills from their activities (such as terrorism), then the policy, not USA taxpayers, could cover the costs.

I got to imagine that Heart Surgeons with a proven track record in their profession & a job lined up with a major US hospital would be able to secure better premium rates than others, such as a 21 year old devoutly religious male with 2 years of freelance work experience in the pyrotechnics industry in Raqqa/Mosul with a job lined up at an ammunition/guns distribution vendor & free housing from a revolutionary mosque in New Jersey, would have.

Also in doing “extreme vetting” it would be good to have as many sponsors as possible for applicants sign on the dotted line to accept liability for the people coming in. These sponsors would be US citizens with the means to make good on their responsibility, including if the applicants were to engage in terrorism or require welfare services. In essence they would be like co-signers on loans. Why haven’t these protesters been agreeing to sign up for being sponsors of these people? I guess they can whine and be all talk, but no action (except violence and ugly namecalling/lying)?

Remember when the Muslim doctors in London were arrested for planning an attack on Heathrow Airport? Just because they’re doctors, doesn’t mean they aren’t jihadis.
