PHYSICIAN NATIONAL INTEREST WAIVER BILL FACES TOUGH BATTLE Last month we reported that a bill to restore national interest waivers for physicians working in underserved areas had passed in the Senate. A similar provision has yet to pass in the House and enactment of the proposed legislation is still very much up in the air. The Senate bill is said to be opposed by House Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Lamar Smith. Advocates of the legislation are hoping to find support in the House Appropriations Committee. The Senate included the provision as an amendment to the Commerce, State and Justice appropriations bill. The House version of that bill does not include the provision. This means that a committee comprised of members of both the House and Senate must hammer out a compromise bill to be voted on by both legislative bodies. Readers interested in advocating on this issue are invited to contact Greg Siskind at gsiskind@visalaw.com for more information. We are particularly interested in hearing from people in Kentucky, but everyone is welcome.
