Thank you for your front-page article “Cuts loom for doctor training/teaching hospitals face major reductions” (Nov. 1).

As a prospective physician, I found the story informative yet startling. It was alarming for me to discover how teaching institutions are virtually forced to sacrifice their physician training programs due to federal Medicare cuts. This situation is symptomatic of our nation’s ailing health care system.
