Has anyone estimated the number of "foreign doctors" the United States already has? [View All]

It seem like we have quite a few without having nationalized health care. Also, our medical schools are not graduating many more doctors than they did thirty years ago. Our population goes up, our number of doctors does not. It seems to me that if the so called "free market" were in play we would have a few new medical schools or at least increased capacity at our current ones. Isn't that how it is supposed to work? :shrug:

If the wing nut xenophobes want all true blue American doctors you'd think they would at least call for more money for our state medical schools to increase capacity. But, no. In their view, public education is a bad thing, it needs to be privatized. It's that "free market" thing again. Ah huh.
