A house RESOLUTION

 

TO URGE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO ENACT FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO FORGIVE THE STUDENT LOAN DEBT OF ALL REGISTERED NURSES AND DOCTORS.

 

Whereas, nurses and doctors require extensive education that can be a costly burden; and

 

Whereas, this country is in great need of nurses and doctors, and it is our responsibility to ease the financial burden on those individuals; and

 

Whereas, we must encourage individuals to pursue careers in healthcare to ensure that we have the necessary nurses and doctors in the future. Easing student loan debt will encourage others to seek a career in medicine. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, urge members of the United States Congress to enact federal legislation to forgive the student loan debt of all registered nurses and doctors.
