Senate Discusses Mass Emigration of U.S. Doctors

The Senate Emigration Subcommittee met in special session today to discuss the escalating brain drain of U.S. doctors, nurses and medical technicians who can no longer afford health care in the U.S. Many nations, particularly France, Singapore, Spain and Japan, have flung open their doors to medical immigrants from the U.S., who typically accept lower-status positions and drastically lower salaries in their new countries. “It’s worth it,” said one doctor who recently emigrated from California to Malta. “In Malta, I can stop worrying that if I find a lump in my breast I may have to default on my mortgage and move in with my mother-in-law.”
