Trump’s H-1B visa fee is a death sentence for US healthcare | Eram Alam

The recent announcement by the Trump administration to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas is raising serious concerns about the future of healthcare in the United States. This policy, while aimed at Silicon Valley, threatens to dismantle the immigrant workforce that is crucial for the operation of hospitals across the country. The implications are dire, particularly for poor and rural Americans who rely heavily on these healthcare services. As the cost of hiring skilled workers skyrockets, many hospitals may struggle to maintain adequate staffing levels, potentially compromising patient care and access to essential medical services.
