[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that the same people who think you can’t raise taxes on billionaires because billionaires will just move fail to see that if you increase the price of labor, the billionaires move their labor?

Welcome to multinationals building abroad.[/quote]

Well…the billionaire would have to renounce their citizenship because the US taxes you no matter where you live. Some may do that, but it’s a massive step.

Folks…even if the H1 was free, it’s always been much cheaper to keep labor in their own country and pay significantly lower wages. What this does is discourages people here for college to take their skills back home because they can’t get a job on graduation.

For doctors…something is wrong with our supply chain.  All the med schools are 100% filled with mainly Americans yet I guess [b]we don’t have enough doctors….or is it we don’t have enough doctors in certain specialties and too many in others?[/b][/quote]

According to my research, foreign physicians fill the following gaps:

1) [b]Primary care shortages[/b]: Foreign physicians are 5-9 times more likely than U.S. graduates to enter primary care, addressing the projected deficit of over 55,000 primary care doctors by 2033, which U.S. citizens often avoid due to lower pay and demanding workloads.

2) [b]Rural and underserved community gaps[/b]: Foreign doctors s are more inclined to practice in rural or Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), where over 20 million Americans live with limited access; U.S. doctors typically prefer urban settings.

3) [b]Unfilled residency slots in critical specialties[/b]: International medical graduates fill over 6,600 residency positions annually (highest on record in 2025), particularly in internal medicine and hospital-based roles like inpatient care and emergency rooms, where U.S. applicants do not match all available spots.

The one main thing I see is …foreign doctors coming for residency here will be much younger than US trained doctors. Bcz almost in majority of other countries they go to med school straight after their high school . So when they come for residency here they will be 23 or 24 year old but for a US citizen that when they almost enter the med school after pre med.

I don’t get it that if USA accepts doctors from all over the world who goes to med school straight after high school, why not change the system in USA so that more US born citizens will go to med school with less debt. So you can have more doctors.

When you say American doctors don’t want to serve in rural area , think of it like ….. for a foreign trained doctor if he can get into residency at age of 23 and as per J1 requirements they have to serve rural area for 3 years or else they have to go back to their home country . So if they enter @ 23 for residency and be an IM specialist by 26 and serving under J1 for 3 years by 29 they will be ready to jump to metro areas with big money

But for US born , they enter med school at 22-23 years old bcz they have to complete Pre med.  And in USA cost of med school is much more than for many of these foreign trained doctors from Say countries like India. In India they enter med school at age of 17 immediately after high school and by 22 they finish med school and come to USA for residency

No body in USA addresses this main point and keep saying doctors shortage in USA

I’m sure more students will go to med school if there is no pre med and /or the cost is less. In a country like India the med school might cost < 10 K .
