"Michael Davis’ heart surgery was hours behind schedule. The 71-year-old South Florida retiree waited and waited and waited inside a chilly room to be taken into the pre-op area for surgery with one of the most renowned surgeons in Miami.

The Marine Corps veteran fidgeted as family members of other patients in the hospital waiting room gobbled down subs, burgers and fries. It had been about 30 hours since Davis’ last meal. He couldn’t eat or drink, as he had to fast before the surgery.

“I had to get up and leave the room and go walk around just to avoid the smell,” Davis said."

"Fentanyl traffickers were responding to consumer demand... Physicians’ willingness to recognize and treat their pain opened their communities to pharmaceutical companies’ flood of opioids. The drugs’ ubiquity meant that they were easy to get whether one had a prescription for them or not."

"Who gets to be a doctor in America is about to change. An under-discussed component of President Trump’s big, beautiful domestic policy law is a new loan cap that will slowly push aspiring physicians from lower-income backgrounds out of medicine and drive future doctors away from primary care.

Effective next year, federal student loans for professional graduate programs, including medical school, will be capped at $50,000 per year. Total lifetime borrowing will be limited to $200,000 for medical school and $257,000 across all degrees, including college. Grad PLUS loans, which almost half of all medical students currently rely on to help cover the cost of training, will be eliminated entirely."
