The purpose is to fill the current and future need for primary care physicians in the USA. Use alternative funding other than Medicare. In the 2012 US residency match there were over 14 thousand qualified unmatched Doctors who could have easily filled these positions with more being graduated every year. There has been no significant increase in residency positions in the USA due to the Medicare funding. We are asking the president to mandate the new positions to fight the increasing health care crises we are facing. 5,000 new residencies by mid-2013 and 5,000 more by mid-2014.
