Scenario
Congress is considering an amendment that would increase funding for graduate medical education as a part of a larger healthcare bill (H.R. 14). The impact of the amendment would mean a 5% increase in Medicare funding for GME positions at hospitals throughout America.
The amendment is opposed by a seedy coalition: Truth About Doctors United (TADU). TADU claims that it’s already too easy to become a doctor and that by increasing the number of GME slots, it will be easier for medical students to make it to residency, and lower the quality of doctors in America. Your job is to use your resources and convince lawmakers to approve the amendment and pass H.R. 14.
Goal
Approve an amendment attached to health care legislation that would increase funding for GME positions.
Current Status
We are currently 8 votes short of the 218 votes needed to approve the amendment in a roll call vote.
