With the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on DACA next week, Dr. David J. Skorton writes in an op-ed for The Washington Post that as “a physician, I’m deeply concerned about the impact this decision will have on the health of the nation.” DACA recipients, Skorton argues, play a key role in America’s healthcare system – and excluding these people from the workforce makes it harder for other Americans to access quality health care. “Today there are approximately 27,000 doctors, nurses, dentists, physician assistants and other health-care workers whose DACA status allows them to work and contribute to patient care. The program also is enabling nearly 200 current medical students and medical residents to pursue careers in medicine.”
