The Deep South is the epicenter of the rural healthcare crisis in America. Smart, engaged state policymaking could fix it, Ashley Cleaves writes. But without fair maps, there’s no way for most Black voters to elect candidates who are motivated to act. https://bit.ly/4vxHhOx

It is imperative that we stop Importing foreign doctors. We have enough talent in this country and enough people motivated to take care of our own. This program just like everything else is designed to destroy poor people and Black people. It’s painful to watch mistreatment of veterans by foreigners

The US has a severe shortage of physicians. Doctors who graduated from foreign medical schools & come to the US are required to pass rigorous examinations & go through a residency program in addition to other requirements. They are just as qualified as doctors who graduate from US medical schools.

And one more thing the only reason we have a shortage of doctors is because Of racism. There was a time when Black people like me couldn’t even get in medical school, but with the civil rights laws, I was able to do it. Don’t tell me we don’t have talent. I’m living proof that the opposite is true.

It became increasingly clear to me when I was in medical school that it doesn’t matter what you know if you aren’t willing to treat the patient the end result will be the same. We don’t need foreign medical grads. The countries they come from need them to stay at home and take care of their own.

I don’t give a damn what you’re saying. They come here they mistreat patients because they want to be pleasing to white people. Meanwhile black and poor people are dying because of their biases. Given the opportunity, we can be educated to take care of our own and we take vigorous test too. I did it

Educate yourself instead of ignoring well-known facts and imposing patently false racist motives onto foreign doctors. There are multiple causes of poor healthcare in the US. The presence of foreign doctors is not one of them.
