ACP Backs Health Care for Immigrants, Medicaid Reforms

On the issue of anticipated budget cuts, Mr. Doherty added that the government should financially uphold programs to support physician recruitment and training, especially in light of expected primary care shortages. "Cutting programs to train more primary care providers would be penny-wise but pound-foolish. ... If Congress does not support these programs, we will face greater shortages, longer waits for appointments, and higher, budget-busting health care spending."

Dr. Ralston and Mr. Doherty reported having no disclosures.
