This has little to do with female doctors and much to do with how expensive medical school is. There used to be programs to help doctors in medical school, but these have mostly gone away...like much of our focus-it’s cheaper to import doctors.
Please, that could be fixed and quickly by providing scholarships as was once common in this country...supporting our own people rather than importing foreigners.
I don’t think you are correct about this. There is a reason this bill will not be filibustered. It has the support of many Americans...as for tax credits. This does not deal with the unemployed or people with pre-existing conditions. As for insurance companies, maybe they would have had more luck if they had acted honorably instead of rationing health care themselves and denying people with treatable conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure policies. How many people do you know like their HMO...how many have already been turned down for various treatments. There is a family in my town raising money for treatment of one of their kid’s cancer-a fairly common treatment these days, but it has been denied by the insurance company. My point is all the fear of government insurance is gone after the way many insurers have behaved...some people believe it could not be worse...now I don’t think national health is a good idea and believe we should have encouraged our employee based insurance with tax credits and such; We should have kept the jobs here which would eliminate the need for government insurance.

Here’s a thread on FR from last year that addresses this with comments by FR physicians:

They didn't care, as long as they got theirs; and the Socialists / Leninists in Congress, the Soros types, and Chinese *did*, and behind the scenes, and not so covertly (MoveOn.Org), did all they could to encourage it.
This is the attempted culmination of a good 60-70 years of effort by the Communists.
Truman was NOT wrong in nuking Japan in 1945. He WAS wrong in not nuking Moscow in 1946.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
I agree with you completely...they didn’t care.
Right, rather than develop programs to train our talented young people, following the good old global model, we import doctors from other countries...such a shame.
