An agency within the Department of Health and Human Services intends to pay New York hospitals not to train any more new doctors.
Officials claim they want to do away with a surplus of doctors throughout the nation and save money.
The program is to run for six years. Health care experts across the country were reportedly stunned by the plan. Hospital executives around the nation expressed concern that the government was playing favorites with New York hospitals because of their political connections.
