The Trump Administration’s Proposed $103,265 Fee for H-1B Visas Could Affect the Health Care Workforce Drishti Pillai Published: August 26, 2026 https://www.kff.org/quick-insights/the-trump-administrations-proposed-103265-fee-for-h-1b-visas-could-affect-the-health-care-workforce/ The proposed $103,265 fee could lead to reductions in U.S. health care workforce, increasing barriers to care….A decline in H-1B workers would disproportionately impact states that employ the largest shares of H-1B workers (NY, MA, CA, and PA), lower income and rural areas where H-1B health care workers often are employed, and smaller employers, who would face greater challenges paying the fee.
