We don’t need to train new doctors, just continue to import them from the third world in bigger numbers. They already make up almost a quarter of our new doctors now.

Well, if you come to New York City, you will see a lot of Nurses from the Philippines, Sri Lanka and other countries.

All they have to do is pass the exams and they're licenesed nurses.

I even know of some doctors from the Philippines who passed the nursing exams to practice as NURSES here ( they make more as nurses in the USA than as doctors in the Philippines ).

So, yes, that trend will accelerate because :

1) It's getting too expensive to train as a doctor.

2) The country is flat broke and there's very little aid left for our high school grads who want to be doctors to tap.

3) It's getting too expensive to maintain a practice.
