To The Editor:
As critical and timely as anything I've read about the new health care bill is Mr. Brinson's alert this morning to the effect that America will soon be facing a serious shortage of doctors and nurses, and that it is anything but too soon to be planning remedies for that. One, of course, is to expand the number of places in medicals schools and hospitals for those aspiring to these professions. But another, not so obvious, is to open up immigration opportunities for those many professionals in other countries who--given the chance--would move heaven and earth to be able to move here to practice their profession. And in this regard, it is well past time to bury the myth that ours is the only country in the world with well-trained, knowledgeable, experienced, capable doctors and nurses--because fact is, they abound throughout the world, even in some so-called third world countries.
Sincerely,
