New doctors need to complete graduate medical education before practicing independently, and lifting the cap on Medicare GME funding will help alleviate the doctor shortage. Bipartisan legislation introduced in both the House and the Senate (H.R. 2389 and S. 1302), would help address the doctor shortage by increasing the number of Medicare-supported residency positions by 14,000 over seven years. This increase would make progress toward providing the necessary primary care and specialty physicians necessary to meet the country’s workforce needs.

The AMA, AAMC, and many others cannot deliver on their promises to address deficits of workforce. More Graduate Medical Education, schools, programs, or special training will not work. Training interventions cannot beat the house. 1. The house is designed by CMS. 2. How CMS spends 1.4 trillion is most important 3. CMS plans pay less than cost of delivery. 4. Access is compromised by insufficient workforce where CMS plans are concentrated 5. Access is worsened by providers trying to survive by avoiding patients with CMS and other weak plans - which not surprisingly are concentrated where deficits of workforce span vast regions Employer based plans must be much better than CMS plans to address shortages. Cost cutting and micromanagement focus make the CMS plans worse, not better. Small slowest growing portions of our nation are favored with best plans, best populations, best outcomes, and best drivers of outcomes. But even where top concentrations of workforce are found, the insurance/payment design fails for pockets of population with worst plans and worst employers. Best plans result in concentrations of workforce, economics, jobs, and more. Worst private employer based plans have acted together with CMS plans for 41 years to kill hundreds of hospitals and countless practices. The deaths of hospitals, practices, workforce, team members, and people will continue and in 2621 counties growing fastest in population numbers, demand, and complexity. The worst employer based plans are not limited to rural areas. There are 90 million urban people that are found in 2621 counties lowest in health care workforce since forever. About 37 million rural people have no chance to resolve shortages such as half enough primary care, mental health, women's health, geriatrics, and basic surgical Expansions of GME, massive expansions of DO NP and PA, and new types of health professionals (70 years ago NP PA FM) have all failed and will continue to fail. Special schools and programs and pipelines do not work. Teaching CHCs will continue to demonstrate graduate outcomes that are desired, but the CHCs will remain with deficits. The greatest limitation of CHC structure and function is Medicaid, since this is 50% of CHC patients. Rural pipelines look great also Valid research demonstrates 6 to 12 times odds ratios of grads being in target locations for all of the special training, but the levels in the target areas remain deficit by financial design. Tracking databases reveal the truth over 30 years of observations. If you do not improve accounts receivable (and collect) and if you do not decrease accounts payable (being made worse) and if you do not improve practice environments and reduce major turnover costs and losses - most Americans will fall further behind by design.
