Congressman Murphy looks to Democrats, medical schools for hurting doctor workforce

North Carolina Congressman Greg Murphy says during morning hour debate that physician burnout is at record highs, understandable for doctors aged 60-70 but now impacting millennials coming out of medical school, criticizing the American Association of Medical Colleges for being more focused on activism than excellence, and questioning why Senate and House Democrats want to cut physician pay again during a critical shortage after 26 percent cuts over 20 years, using the analogy that you can't sell hammers for 40 cents and stay in business, having run a surgical practice knowing every expense, accusing the real aim of driving physicians into employment, destroying trust in the patient-doctor relationship as physicians leave due to inability to get paid, concluding that medicine is in crisis.
