The federal government took over medicine and messed it up. They did it with medicare and it’s expansion, then Obamacare. They prevented physician involvement by banning them from owning hospitals and insurance companies, but the others could monopolize and own physicians.
The answers these socialist have are not only more government involvement, but are detrimental to America:
Increase support for faculty and administrators of nursing schools to educate the next generation of nurses.
There is no shortage of nurses, there is a shortage of hospitals that can treat them with respect. They continue to blame something that isn’t true.
Provide more loan forgiveness programs and increase scholarships for workers in the healthcare industry.
Won’t help. Because a starting Nurse makes about the same as someone working at Chick Fillet. Why take out loans and go to school, risk your licence and family for 21 dollars an hour. Loans aren’t the problem, reimbursement for the job is.
Lift the cap on Medicare-funded physician residency programs.
More doctors means more waste. Especially foreign doctors, and Medicare knows it. Training more doctors won’t fix it, because they gravitate now to fields wherein they have ‘quality of life’ and ‘shifts’. We, like other socialized nations, will be short of surgeons soon.
Expedite visas of highly skilled foreign workers.
When you can’t out source for labor, just bring them in and destroy the American who paid for his or her education!!!! That makes perfect sense. Sure, that’s the ticket. We have been doing this craziness for 3 decades and it isn’t helping our culture or our country.
you seemed to be on a pretty good rant but then you wrote: Because a starting Nurse makes about the same as someone working at Chick Fillet.
Then I realized that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Unless Chick-Fillet pays their employees $80,000 + per year starting pay.
