if you are looking at a big debt that you need to pay off and there is a major hospital in Boston that will give you x additional salary, we need to at least--even if we don't even if we don't make up the entire amount, we need to offset…

I think this issue is huge and challenging, but one that is very amenable to some bipartisan work that can be done.

Despite spending almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other major country, we have massive shortages in health care providers.

Senators should expect two rollcall votes at 4:30 p.m. today and three rollcall votes tomorrow.

Tuition for many healthcare professional programs is high and can be an impediment to many students.

DIR fees are not meaningful measures of quality.

How in the world is that fair? Seriously. How in the world is that fair?

A shortage of health care personnel was a problem before the pandemic, and now it has gotten much worse.

The National Health Service Corps is one example of such a program, but it is simply inadequate in many ways to meet current needs.

Study after study shows that disease prevention saves money.

Support such as that displayed by Senator Collins and Sanders and others for a strategic health care faculty loan repayment programs is critical to ensuring the future of the health care workforce.

The United States will face a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034, including 48,000 primary care physicians.

If people cannot access a primary care doctor, they may end up in an emergency room, which is the most expensive form of primary health care.

The biggest challenge is the limited availability of clinical training opportunities.

Bottom line is, look, we have an issue that the American people want us to resolve.

99 million primary, 70 million dental, 156 mental health, which everybody in this Committee knows is a horrendous crisis in America.

By 2025, the United States will have a shortage of up to 450,000 nurses.
