Restore funds to training hospitals, increase competition

In the first debate on October 3rd, Mitt Romney criticized the President for the steps the President has taken to increase efficiency and reduce spending in Medicare, stating that many doctors are not taking new Medicare patients as a result. This may, in fact, be true, but due to a lack of competition in the medical marketplace. In order to increase the number of doctors in our communities and increase competition, I'm calling on the President to restore subsidies to training hospitals that had been cut under the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
