    This is what happens when a state votes l in the same party for 60 years this is both parties you have to mix it up every few elections or things fall apart as they do not need to earn your vote

    Physicians earn low when compared to other States and especially so when factoring in cost of living, but it does not stop there. With many physicians retiring, the need will increase.

    My family has lived in Hawaii our whole lives (I was born in 1989 for reference). Now my two siblings want to move, because it has become too expensive to live here. They are responsible and have college degrees (accountant and pharmacy), but they will never be able to save enough money to own a house if they continue to live here.

      The insurance CEOs are taking home multimillion dollar salaries but they don't pay the doctors! I have watched as the state recruited 40 physicians but as soon as they came into the state they slandered them and ran them out so they could collect more money for being an underserved area. It's all about the money in Hawaii

    We need to focus on O'ahu. The neighbor islands receive subsidized airfare to fly into Honolulu for their appointments. Meanwhile the waiting time in Honolulu is 8 to 10 weeks for an appointment.

    Mainland also has a shortage to be fair. A number of providers are on a foreign visas, at least at first. Korean doctors are refusing to work. Would some of the ones that would like to work want to immigrate?

      @@shwnshts9469 Hawaii is the 2nd most blue state in the country, are you kidding me? The state that sued when Syria was placed on a list banned from receiving visas even though they were one of 2 states, Delaware was the other, that took zero Syrian refugees under Obama? You are suggesting Hawaii xenophobic against northeast Asian’s? A Korean going to Japan would be like a northern AA going from Chicago to Alabama in 1960. But a Korean going to Hawaii is no trouble at all. In Hawaii you have a better time being Asian than Caucasian.

      @@kristinesharp6286 not saying the mainland isn't fckd up. I'm saying that Koreans have had roots here for over 100yrs and we still have to wonder whether there's the possibility of a partnership? It's bc the locals don't respect that history compared to the Japanese and Chinese who haven't ever viewed Hawaii with a whole lotta respect culturally. Given that unexplainable lack of outreach despite the commonality in the atrocious treatment the two might have received from larger powers, Hawaii and it's locals have never been as accommodating as the Korean immigrants have been available and wanting. And as of 2024 there are actually far more inroads and opportunities in the Western US and PacNW for SK professionals bc there are major SK investment and equity groups funding things like Resort Properties and Casinos all over Cali. Meanwhile an SK Corp can't equal rights to do something where nobody wants to do anything but needs something on Oahu's westside. Yet Gov Green is rubbing elbows with the CEO of Salesforce allowing him to infiltrate Big Island in way that is bound to break HIPPA laws and has the Lt Gov who signs off on 501c backings and DLNR Subdivision approvals in this state sweep his land gobbling under the rug. So yeah...a Korean would face mortal amounts of racial hatred in Japan. That doesn't make Hawaii automatically welcoming to the outside immigration of Koreans or even tolerates the local Korean population to the level they should. This local culture is widely dismissive of all the backs it's broken and shoulders it's climbed. But beyond that past look around now,this place isn't just influenced culturally by Japan. We still pander to the fckn Yen. Even when it comes to greedy corruption the locals are racist. That's how ya know it's bigotry.
      (And idk what the carpetbagger Democrats running a one party system as the front for an Oligarchy has anything to do with it but the lawsuit concerning the Muslim nation travel ban had more to do with Trump then Racial Unity. It had no large affect on the business of this state unless you looked beyond tourism and saw maybe that ban was justified when it came to the threats at the time and the amount of shady dealing specifically in this town- Tulsi Gabbard had WAY TOO MANY ties and made WAY too many trips to the region and there are legitimate concerns about the amount of money the public housing director in Honolulu spends and where it all went at that time)

    This seems like a great program for fostering new physicians to practice in Kauai and other communities in need. I hope it expands to other islands and eventually include PAs, nurses and CNAs.

    Irene Imanil here to mention someone is planning to organize a action of $1,000,000,000 lawsuit against the US healthcare.
    Ligaya Imanil is wrongly amputated on both arms in HI, yet she's healthy, only 20 years old, and her father is an active duty US Navy.
    Where's the US military to save father and daughter, and why are they treated heinous acts of crimes and violence in HI?
    Conduct an investigation.

    Maybe the counties in Hawaii need to be the ones financing the medical centers and then hiring staff. As it is doctors are not just doctors but heads of small businesses. King Kamehameha schools expensive. Students go to college. Why don’t they come back? Is the point to give native Hawaiians an education so they can leave?
