I am one of your constituents and I know that our country is in chaos. So are Americans. It is hard for each of us to get to a doctor. It is expensive and millions of us don’t have insurance anymore because we can’t afford it, thanks to the cruel budget cuts implemented last year, We also have a doctor shortage and the new Trump $100,000 H-1B visa cost will just guarantee that the healthcare workforce shortage gets worse. What patients will see with the increased visa cost is that it takes longer for them or their parents or children to get to see a doctor. It will take longer to start cancer treatment and longer to get the surgery they need. And if nursing and healthcare staffing continues to shrink, we can expect more infections, more injury due to patient slips and falls, and more medication errors. I want you to restore the $2500 cost for H-1B visas and then enact Universal Healthcare like HR 3069 or S 1506 so we can all have health insurance and go to the doctor without going broke.
