President Donald Trump’s new H-1B visa crackdown is being talked about as a blow to the tech industry. But in reality, the people who will suffer most aren’t coders—they’re patients.

More than 76 million Americans already live in places the federal government designates as short on primary care doctors, according to KFF data. Many of those communities rely on immigrant physicians with H-1B visas. Take them away, and rural health care collapses.

“When you’re putting a doctor in the middle of rural Ohio or rural Indiana, and they have to serve the underserved—that kind of a price tag is going to wipe out a lot of health care for a lot of people across the country who really need it,” immigration attorney David Leopold told Bloomberg.

Good fucking god. The next time you get sick or injured, a team of people will care for you. Do you want them questioning your political leanings first?
