The American Medical Association and more than 50 other medical societies on Thursday the government asked Trump To release doctors of the new $ 100,000 H-1B Visa request costs.
The White House has announced this week that all new H-1B Visa requests would now have an additional fee of $ 100,000, which the largest doctor’s group of the nation and 53 other medical societies say they should be waved “so that H-1B-doctors can remain a pipeline that offers care of gay patients,” said the groups.
Last year alone, 23 percent of the recognized doctors in the US was abroad, the AMA said that these H-1B doctors “offer vital necessary health care to US patients, especially in areas of the country with higher percentages of poverty and chronic diseases.” Such visas are crucial for health care to recruit international graduates in health care and other health workers who have been trained outside the US,
There is already a shortage of doctor in the US that, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, projected in the US to 86,000 doctors, who represents educational hospitals, academic medical centers and medical schools in the US
“The workforce of American health care is based on doctors from other countries to offer high -quality and accessible patient care,” the AMA and the other art groups said in their letter. “Accordingly, we must ensure that the US has an honest and efficient immigration system that strengthens the healthcare of the US and promotes the country’s health security.”
Other signatories of the letter to mention include: the American Academy of Pediatrics; the American College of Emergency Physicians; the American College of Surgeons; the American Psychiatric Association; The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists American College of Physicians.
“While you determine standards to define categories of H-1B employees that fall under this exception, we recommend that all doctors, including medical residents, fellows, researchers and those who work in non-clinical institutions are of crucial importance for our national interest and exempt from the proclamation,” said the groups in their letter to their letter.
