Hope for Indian H-1B doctors: US bill would waive $100k fees amid 86k shortfall fear

This article first appeared in the Financial Express on Mar 19, 2026

The United States is already struggling with a growing shortage of doctors and nurses, especially in rural and underserved areas. Now, a hefty $100,000 visa fee for hiring foreign healthcare workers has added to those worries, with hospitals warning it could make staffing even harder. The rule requires companies and hospitals to pay the amount for each skilled international worker hired on an H-1B visa. Recently, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has stepped in with a new bill aimed at easing the burden and keeping hospitals staffed. Hospitals across the country had warned that such high costs could make it harder for them to hire much-needed staff, especially at a time when the healthcare system is already under strain.

The Washington Consensus no longer fits a multipolar, digital and fragile world

This article first appeared in The Hindu on Mar 14, 2026 Once upon a late-20th-century lecture circuit, the phrase “Washington Consensus” (WC) did the work of a talisman: 10 tidy policy prescriptions that promised macro stability, market-led growth, and a path out of crisis for beleaguered states. John Williamson, who coined the term in 1989, formulated its 10 commandments: fiscal discipline; reordering public spending toward pro-growth priorities; tax reform to broaden the tax base and lower rates; liberalisation of interest rates; competitive exchange rates; trade liberalisation through lowering tariffs; liberalisation of inward foreign direct investment; privatisation of state-owned enterprises; deregulation to remove barriers to entry and competition; and securing property rights. These were presented as near-universal remedies, administered by institutions in the West that watched the global macro-economy like physicians with a single, favoured prescription, summed up in the words liberalise, privatise, and deregulate. Three decades on, the prescription seems obsolete, overtaken by the onrush of global events.... Read More on The Hindu
