The reason there is so many foreign docs is cause of the governments favorable immigration for these types of persons but mostly because young US citizens do not want to be physicians any more because of the government regulation, the threat of being sued, the high cost of insurance etc. You will never get anyone to treat your so called simple broken bone. That has gone. Even most FP will not do this. Not because they can't but because the lawyers have scared them out of the practice. You are blaming the wrong group. Even thought I have not love lost for the AMA.

I don't believe that Americans don't want to be docs. Docs are still the top earners of the professions. We train a certain number in our med schools. However, we need more residents than that. The surplus spots creates a need for residents to come here, and then they stay. That is how we get the foreign docs. We just need more medical schools.
