I don't understand this about healthcare in the USA. Why not import a few thousand doctors from Asia through H1Bs, and drive down the cost of medical care? Remove artificial caps on licenses imposed by the AMA while at it.

> Where is the support for the citizens?

Why should citizens be treated differently when H1Bs pay the same income and other taxes as citizens? H1Bs even pay into social security, even though they are on a temporary visa.

Anyone who pays the same tax as citizens should be treated the same as citizens.
