Washington (March 7, 2017)—The American Health Care Act (AHCA) will have a tremendously negative impact on access, quality and cost of care for patients seen by internal medicine physicians, as compared to current law under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), said the American College of Physicians (바카라 사리트) in a letter sent today to congressional leadership.
Washington (March 6, 2017)—President Trump’s revised executive order on immigration clarifies that those from the 6 designated countries with existing visas, including physicians and medical students, will be able to enter and reenter the U.S. as recommended by 바카라 사리트.
