when someone claims they need H1B for Doctors, remember this ....

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.

Uh no. Top colleges will always matter

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 . . .

Not white. But otherwise resemble this remark. I do think my kid is pretty awesome and will be annoyed when the rejections roll in. I think most parents will rationalize stuff about their own kids and will be their biggest boosters. It’s all good. We need kids to have the grounding from their parents. I wish all kids could experience love, a healthy family life, and financial stability.

Asians are gonna be big mad about this in 3, 2, 1...

I kind of wish people stop lumping Asians in one giant group. I think you intended point out one or two giant grinding groups.

I want to celebrate all the black and brown Ivy admits rolling in!! America’s future leaders!

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.

That’s going to be hard - the average person using woke pejoratively has the intellect of a three year old.

The reason they never wanted to do income based affirmative action is because the majority of smart poor kids are rural whites. Those are the absolute last group of people that college administrators want to help.

They don't exactly apply to elite colleges (or colleges in general) in droves, you know. Your premise is flawed. There's no one to help in your scenario.

Actually your premise is the flawed one and it has been well studied.

Instead, what’s happening now sends a discouraging message: you can work incredibly hard, but if your family is neither poor enough nor rich enough—the situation most students fall into—there’s no place for you. Not poor enough to inspire institutional sympathy, not wealthy enough to offer “network value.” It makes you wonder what the purpose of an elite college even is anymore.

And again, how much do these elitists want to drain the average people's time, money and energy...They work so hard to be exclusive so they can keep the wealthy 1% to themselves, and make sure the rest are poor FOEVER

You sound like you feel that people have a right to seats, but you don’t. Top schools have never been about peak academics and they have every right to admit according to their priorities, not yours.

As long as those priorities don't include race.

If they do, then they should be stripped of their tax exempt status.

Is gender preference okay with you?

Lot of angry losers who thought SCOTUS was handing Ivy slots to their kids that just can’t make the grade.
