A pending House bill introduced by Representative Robert Wexler, D-Fla., will attempt to address the nursing shortage by allowing 20,000 additional nurses to enter the U.S. each year for the next three years. This is supposed to be a temporary stop gap measure but this "importation" of foreign trained healthcare workers is not a new thing. Whether it passes or not will be questionable. I wonder, however, if that will be the government's answer for our primary care shortage?
