This bill tries to balance rural needs with hospital capacity—hope it doesn’t get lost in bureaucratic red tape.

Good—finally investing where it matters, in underserved and minority communities. Time to grow doctors, not just profits.

More residency slots could fix the doctor drought, but only if the funding follows through. It’s a step, not the whole staircase.

Government stepping in with more residency slots? Sounds like another costly overreach with mixed results.

Throwing more money at hospitals doesn’t guarantee more doctors in the ‘burbs or backwaters. Incentives matter, not just headcounts.

This bill says ‘medicine for all’ instead of ‘medicine for some.’ Residency expansion is healthcare equity in action.

More residency positions sound good until you realize who’s picking winners—and taxpayers are footing the bill. Let’s not get carried away.

Expanding residency spots isn’t charity, it’s healthcare justice. More docs in rural and Black communities? About time!

Adding residency positions sounds smart—but will it actually get docs where they’re needed most? Let’s watch the rollout closely.
