Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Today we take urgent action to prevent a critically important immigration program from expiring. No one disputes that there is a health care crisis in this country. With our population aging. there can be no doubt that the demand for health care will only increase. The problem is made worse by the fact that many people in communities across America lack access to health care because of a shortage of medical professionals. including doctors. H.R. 5571 will reauthorize the program. the Conrad 30 J Waiver program. that has been successful in helping medically underserved communities attract highly skilled physicians.
