Workforce panel unfunded as doctor ‘crisis’ looms
Workforce panel unfunded as doctor ‘crisis’ looms-politico: A panel charged with helping devise solutions to the nation’s health care workforce crisis is having a workforce crisis of its own: It hasn’t been funded and it’s never met.Created by Congress nearly three years ago under the health care law, the panelists were appointed, but that’s about as far as it has gone.
