H. R. 7961 - H-Bs for Physicians and healthcare workforce act

Pretty interesting bill that was introduced last month to exempt medical professionals on H1-b from paying 100K fee that was introduced in late 2025. Which creating hurdles for rural hospital and primary care facilities in underserved areas from recruiting specialists especially non profits.

I think it’s worth a discussion on this might help mitigate upcoming shortages by allowing underserved areas to get the help they need. Maybe see if other peoples have already noticed any impacts who live or work in such areas
