Greg Murphy talking out of BOTH SIDES of his mouth? (*You don’t say.*)

Greg Murphy conned his way into Congress by posing as a born-again Freedom Caucus conservative and thumping his Bible extra hard. He dumped all that stuff, upon being elected, and went to work becoming the most loyal lapdog Kevin McCarthy and other “leadership” have ever seen.

Murphy has a bad habit of revealing his deficiencies in intelligence and integrity every time he sets foot on social media.

It’s clear: Greg Murphy appreciates and seeks out the affection of Washington “leadership.” He’s annoyed by all of us back home.

Here he is now with his latest.  Murphy is claiming we need to issue more visas to foreign doctors to come in and treat us and our sick relatives, friends, and neighbors:

A GOP representative caused a national uproar on Friday when he urged government officials to import more foreign doctors to treat sick Americans.

The issue blew up when Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) reversed his July opposition to the use of migrant doctors:

“H1-B Visas are critical for helping alleviate the severe physician shortage this nation faces,” Doctor Murphy tweeted August 8. “We cannot train enough American Doctors fast enough. We can’t let lack of knowledge of the importance of this program affect patient care.”

Three weeks prior, he had tweeted:

Extremely disturbing trend is allowing physicians trained overseas to practice in the US wo American training. Medical Education overseas is NOT of the same quality as that in the US. Patients will suffer.

Critics said Murphy’s change of view was prompted by donations. But he likely also felt lobbying pressure from a well-organized group of Indian workers in his district.

His tweet was swamped by angry criticisms from Americans and accumulated 5.4 million views.

Murphy did not respond to questions from Breitbart News

Murphy defended his pro-H-1B tweet, prompting more pushback from Americans who have worked as managers and professionals within companies that use the H-1B program to hire a no-rights workforce from India and China.

But Murphy admitted that the U.S. government turns to H-1Bs because it has not trained enough Americans:

H-1B workers are hired by U.S. executives for multiple reasons.

The H-1B workers accept lower wages than Americans because they prefer to work in the United States and because they hope that their employers will nominate them for the government-granted prize of citizenship.

They are also preferred because they have little legal or cultural authority to argue against C-Suite managers or company policies, such as hospital rules against expensive treatments. “American doctors have more control,” said Jay Palmer, an expert on the day-to-day operation of the visa programs. U.S. companies “are controlling them, they’re telling them what to do … they are robots of corporate America.”

Roughly one quarter of doctors in the United States have been imported from poor countries that face medical shortages.

Thousands of American applicants are rejected by medical schools, and thousands of Americans who pass their medical tests are blocked from working because they cannot get training residencies at U.S. hospitals.

In many large hospital chains, the professional power of American doctors has been destroyed by the arrival of dispassionate doctors from non-Christian societies, he added. “Immigration has destroyed [workplace] professionalism, destroyed [workplace] ethics” because the companies control their immigration status, he said.

“In the medical sector, officials have purposely decided not to invest in more doctors,” said Kevin Lynn, the founder of U.S. Techworkers, and an advocate for U.S. medical graduates.

The production of doctors is expensive, partly because the federal government funds a limited number of hospital “residencies” where newly qualified American doctors must begin training for their careers with patients.

So far, Congress has chosen not to fund additional residencies — or even to train all the people who wish to become nurses.

There is vast government-confirmed local and systemic fraud throughout the visa worker programs, for decades, both by U.S. companies and by foreign employees. Much of the fraud is hidden within Indian societies, partly because India’s government relies heavily on visa workers to grow its economy.

The growing use of imported white-collar workers pushes many American STEM, business, and healthcare graduates out of the middle class and far from entrepreneurship and management careers. The replacement inflow also helps the corporate directors shift more investment and middle-class jobs to India, regardless of the damage to critical national strengths, including professionalism, innovation, privacy, and national security. […]

Being a physician, Murphy ought to be hearing some of the same things I hear from members of our very own large medical community here in the local area. Insurance companies forcing their way deeper into the doctor-patient relationship is ticking off health care professionals like mad. 

Hospital administrators — who never lay hands on a patient – are just about as bad, I’m told.  At one major provider in our area, I’m told each staff physician is assigned responsibility for at least 600 patients. Imagine trying to keep track of the health situations of 600+ people and give them all the attention they require / deserve.

Practices have been converted to a factory-like assembly line process.  Appointments are scheduled every five to fifteen minutes.  At least three people will be assigned the same doctor at the same time. Doctors are told to be in-and-out of each patient exam room within five minutes.

Marcus Welby is no longer on call. The name of the game is cramming the most insurance billings into one workday as you can.

North Carolina has an insidious practice called Certificates of Need.  If you want to offer your patients a new service — an alternative to what’s out there already — you have to convince the state bureaucracy. It’s a long, drawn-out process.  It’s part of the reason you end up driving hours away to get treatment you or your loved ones need.

There are a lot of really good medical professionals trying really hard to do what’s best for their patients.  But the system — as is — is making that harder and harder. The horror stories we once heard about British and other European health care are now making it to our shores.

The government doesn’t help either.  I have one doctor friend who told me he keeps five women on staff who do nothing but push paper all day to help the practice stay in compliance with government regulations.  They don’t come in contact with patients. They don’t get to contribute to the quality of patient care.

I’ve heard from plenty of doctors who leave for concierge services like MDVIP.  It allows them to step out of the leviathan, limit their workloads, and spend the time they want and need to spend with their patients.

I’ve also heard from other doctors and nurses who are throwing their hands up and leaving the business altogether.

Murphy is a tool of the hospital lobby.  He is well-financed by the non-medical folks pulling down the six-to-eight figure salaries who don’t touch patients but do more harm than good for patient care.

If you want to stem the outflow of medical professionals, reform the healthcare delivery business to where it has a more human side. Push back against the drug companies and the insurance companies and the hospital lobby.

As long as we are *represented* by politician whores making decisions based on who put the last, biggest check in their pockets, it ain’t gonna happen.

You folks in the Third congressional District — you really lost a lot when Walter Jones left this world. You HAD a guy focused on you, your communities and families. You’re now stuck with a guy fascinated and ecstatic over the bright lights (and fat bundles of cash) of Washington, DC.

Walter tried to limit the damage government does.

Murphy is  gung-ho to help the speaker, the lobbyists and the rest of The Capitol Hill gang achieve their wildest dreams. Not really * representative*, is he?
