A USA Today op-ed:
I tell you these facts because of the knee-jerk reaction I hear that we should take measures to prevent the entry of foreign-born physicians. This would be a disaster for American health care, and it would not make us safer. We need to increase physician immigration and increase the supply of U.S. medical school graduates. Otherwise, we’ll face a future of rationed health care.
