GOP Rep. Greg Murphy Flips, Calls For More H-1B Visa Doctors As Shortages Bite

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) reversed his stance and urged expanding H-1B visas to bring in more foreign physicians to address U.S. doctor shortages, triggering backlash and raising questions about donations and lobbying. The piece spotlights residency slot caps that limit U.S. graduates, the heavy reliance on foreign-trained doctors, and recurring fraud concerns in visa programs. It frames a GOP policy divide between funding more domestic residencies versus importing doctors and links to concurrent DOJ/USCIS defenses of H-1B-related programs.
