Dear Senate Majority Leader McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, and House Minority Leader McCarthy:
The COVID-19 pandemic has stressed our nation’s health care system in myriad unprecedented ways. Across the country, physicians and providers have mobilized on the front lines of this crisis to deliver care to their patients, at times in the most challenging conditions. COVID-19 is just the latest example that the U.S., which has fewer physicians per capita than other comparable countries, is in dire need of more doctors, not only to treat a growing and aging population, but also to respond to public health emergencies like COVID-19.
