Wipe Out Student Loan Debt for Health Care Workers
Doctors, Nurses, Health Aides, Hospital workers are on the front lines of this pandemic. They have placed not only their own lives in harms way, but also the lives of their families, with no additional compensation. Our government should support the proposal to wipe out all student loan debt for these front-line workers.
Why is this important?
I have been personally affected by this pandemic. My daughter, an RN in Chicago, has been exposed to the virus and quarantined for 14 days. She is currently on her way back to work to face this virus all over again. Everyday that she goes into work she faces a war-zone environment. They have received no additional days off to recover from the effects and toll this pandemic is taking on them physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I believe the least we can do as a nation is to provide some type of compensation for their effort. Most of them are overwhelmed with student loan debt and now are burdened with the fact they could lose their own lives in the process of saving the lives of others.
