“We own more than thanks and cheers at 7 p.m.,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney said
House Democrats introduced a bill Tuesday to forgive student debt for health care workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. If passed, the bill would establish a national forgiveness program for federal and private loans.
“We own more than thanks and cheers at 7 p.m.,” New York Representative Carolyn Maloney, who introduced the bill, said in a press briefing. “We have an obligation to ensure men and women are relieved of the debt they incurred to train for this critical work.”
She added in a statement that health care workers “should not have to worry about their financial security after the crisis has passed.
