They Passed Over American Doctors

The biggest lie in the U.S. healthcare debate is that we do not have enough American doctors. The truth is simple. We produce them. We just refuse to train them.

In 2024 nearly 20 percent of U.S. medical school seniors failed to match into a residency. That is 8,869 qualified graduates who spent years in school, passed their boards, took on massive debt, and still never got the one thing they need to practice medicine.

At the same time more than 9,700 foreign trained doctors matched into U.S. residencies in 2025. Many hospitals prefer them because they accept lower pay, longer hours, and have no leverage to complain. You cannot practice medicine in the United States without residency. So if Americans are locked out, someone else will fill the spot.

The choke point is not medical school. It is the federally funded residency cap. Congress has not increased these slots fast enough while medical school enrollment has exploded. The result is a rigged bottleneck that leaves American doctors unmatched while taxpayer dollars train replacements from overseas.

The Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025 would add 14,000 residency slots over seven years. Even that will not undo years of damage, but it is proof that Washington knows the system is broken.

Until Congress expands residency slots at the scale required, the United States will keep graduating qualified doctors who never get to practice. Then hospitals will turn around and say there is a physician shortage and use it as an excuse to import more foreign labor.

It is not a shortage. It is policy.

Nah. Lots of US citizens whose ancestors are from SE Asia also are low income and trying for college. California discovered this when race-based metrics were banned for public universities there.

Uh no. Top colleges will always matter

Maybe to the poor who don’t pay a dime but ROI matters and the ROI just isn’t there anymore for full pay students.

And they are very good at hiding their income because it's all made through businesses.
There are so many kids on Reddit claiming HHI of $10K or $20K when their parents own multiple restaurants or other businesses. Reddit is anonymous so the kids are frank about their financial stats.

If they're being frank about the $20k income, then that is their income. Many businesses, particularly restaurants, are far from being as profitable as you might think.

Social media and AI were the worst creations in history

Woke and humanities majors are worse.

What is "woke?" Explain it to me like I'm five.

Humanities majors are the future. That's where the jobs and pay are going to be in an AI-powered economy. It's already happening.

No? I don't see a huge rise $80k+ starting positions opening up that specifically ask for humanities degrees.

You say 25% like it’s a big number. At my rural upstate NY title I school the number was around 80%.

If they'e taking cash they can claim their income is whatever they want it to be. There are many states (NJ being one) where the restaurant economy is almost entirely based on cash. Places don't even take credit (yes, in 2025!)

What?!? If these residency slots are really limited and we have kids successfully graduating from medical schools and ready to go into them why in the world are we giving out visas to people to take those slots instead??? The more I learn about the current visa details and how it is actually used the more frustrated I get at it. Just as we do NOT need thousands and thousands of H1B tech visas now, we do not need so may foreign doctors when US med students cannot even fit into residencies. This is nuts.

Foreign doctors may be filling the residency slots that American medical graduates don’t want (family medicine, internal medicine, primary care). Some foreign doctors have to practice in an underserved area afterwards if theyre on a J1 visa?

Big facts, The NBA draft sums up America.... they want talented foreigners over Americans, black and white Americans, that can trace their ancestry to pre 1950's america need to stop fighting and realize that the globlist (not a euphemism for jewish or israel) are the real enemies

PP has me with the doctors, but you're absolutely wrong on this one. NBA drafts the most talent (combined with physicality and position need) every single time.

The return of testing requirements is Jim Crow.
