Powerful lobbies are surpressing the number of doctors practicing in the US. If a foreign doctor wants to emigrate and practice here they cannot until they pass TOEFL (reasonable) AND finish US-based residencies, of which there are few. I know a Russian dermatologist who has been a receptionist for years because she cannot get ECFMG certification. Some states are wising up and waiving the residencies, but way more need to do it.

13·6 months agoI think if the decision had been going forward instead of backward, I would have felt better about it. Saying any descendents born after 2025 will not have assumed citizenship is very different than saying “Lol, your citizenship wasn’t real.”

World News@lemmy.world•Millions of children and teens lose access to accounts as Australia’s world-first social media ban beginsEnglish
11·9 months agoThis is exactly the purpose. I am largely against banning things but it’s SOCIAL media. Parents who want to make the objectively correct decision for their child have to go up against the zeitgeist and risk complete isolation of their kids in exchange.

Part D plans are all privately offered. The government does not offer a Part D plan like it does Part A and B.
