Fortunately, as Think New Mexico explained in our report policy report, How to Solve New Mexico’s Health Care Worker Shortage, there is one policy change that would allow New Mexico to immediately access a much greater supply of doctors: joining the interstate health Read More

My cousins and I are pretty different people. I was the first on both sides to go to college. Some cousins are high school dropouts, and others graduated from high Read More
