The Sun is reporting that Governor Gibbons has been contacted by two medical groups concerned over a story also by the Sun which reported on September 30 that multiple employers in Las Vegas -- immigrant physicians themselves -- have systematically abused the so-called J-1 program, which is designed to place foreign doctors in medically underserved areas -- usually, clinics in rural or poor urban neighborhoods.

Instead, the bosses divert physicians to more affluent areas, where they can bring more money to the practice. In some cases, the employers violate contracts and federal law by failing to pay the foreign doctors their wages. Many of the foreign doctors also complain of being overworked to the point of exhaustion, jeopardizing patient care.

Nevada was built on corruption, bribes, and short cuts and is unjustly proud of its history of abuse. It's no wonder that in a state dedicated to taking away someone else's money, that our professional class of lawyers, politicians, physicians, developers, etc. are some of our most talented crooks. It is also egregious that most corruption stories seem to be broken by the L.A. Times first and not the Review Journal, and most cases investigated by the F.B.I. and not Metro.
