The H-1B visa program would end, and Medicare would stop funding residency programs that train foreign individuals.
This bill would gradually end the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in specialized jobs. It would also stop Medicare from paying for medical residency programs that train foreign individuals. This means fewer foreign workers could come to the U.S. for these jobs, and hospitals would lose funding for certain medical training.
Currently, the H-1B visa program allows up to 65,000 foreign workers (plus 20,000 for advanced degrees) in various specialty occupations, including fashion models, to work in the U.S. through the government's budget year 2025. Medicare also funds medical residency programs that train foreign individuals. If this bill passes, the number of H-1B visas would drop to 10,000 in the government's budget year 2026 and eventually to zero by 2036. Only physicians, surgeons, and nurses would be eligible for these visas, and applicants would need to show they plan to return home. Additionally, Medicare would stop funding residency programs that train foreign individuals.
