The new bill would have no cap on debt relief granted, and any final determinations on individuals' eligibility would be determined by a commission.
Medical workers take in patients outside of a special coronavirus intake area at Maimonides Medical Center, May 1, 2020, in Brooklyn. "There are so many emotions that go along with that," Penton said."We can't go to the funerals. I can't even find where the gravesite is. There is no sense of closure."
Ppl in the medical field went to school to do this..it’s no exception to their job description. Praise to a limit rest it was the profession they chose.
BayNewfel Think they need to pass a bill that forgives everyone’s student loan not selectively..Debt is going to dig a deeper hole knocking ppl off their feet alive in a grave. realDonaldTrump SpeakerPelosi USTreasury WhiteHouse MSNBC KTNV GovSisolak GavinNewsom CNN NYGovCuomo
Hey! Can you retweet this petition plz? 240,000 signatures so far. The country is being crushed by student loan debt. They need to be freed! THANK YOU- studentloanjustice studentloanjubilee
We need to stop screwing around, get Government out of Tuition Guarantees and and College/University Tuition under control. These are Profit mills taking advantage of Guaranteed Student Loans.🤬
Better to give such workers a bonus or hazard pay. Too restrictive. Criteria should have been applied to SARS, N1H1, AIDS. To apply it to a small group that did what they trained to do is wrong think. I can forsee miscatagorizing to get the benefit. Poor oversight.
Hazard pay would be better
Never mind first responders
$312.000 at age 32! It seems like a mortgage, smsh!
The correct spelling is 'Medical'. Who proof reads this stuff?
Again this is spot on what should happen but what else is in the bill
That's bullshit.
No fraud would happen with that bill.....
That’s a bad idea. What about the health care workers who already paid their debts. Not Fair
Nice.
Not a good ideal...
No! I appreciate our medical workers, pay your own damn student loans!
I'm gonna assume war veterans that suffer from PTSD, that are homeless or in debt don't get anything?
Well deserved
Medical professionals and not medial?
this is bullshit. they are getting PAID while millions of us aren't. They should pay their damn bills like WE are!
That is an incentive to keep working!
Instead maybe additional education at no additional charge to them.
As someone who WOULD NOT benefit from this and still will have to pay off my loan, great and well deserved. The feds have been too little, too late too often right now. This would be a welcome change.
Socialism at work🤬I paid mine off without help it’s their bill they can pay it🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸🤠
Insane. What do I get who paid off all I owed?
Our heroes deserve this!
Make👏🏻 This 👏🏻 Happen👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
More motivation to classify everything as covid19. What a shvtshow...
Uh what about the rest of us who are out of work? Are you kidding me....how about they do something for the actual people who's lives were ruined..
Why are the democrats not giving more attention to the antibody tests created by Roche and Abbott? Roche will be able to produce 100mil antibody tests per month by the end of 2020. Currently producing over 50mil tests per month. Tests have close to 100% accuracy, FDA approved.
SUE COMMUNIST CHINA 🇨🇳
they still have jobs...so what are they going to do for the business owners who were put out of business by government fiat?
Don't believe it! I couldn't even get my debt taken care of from going to a fake school that prayed on me and thousands of others!
Love it! Do it! Give them debt relief and bonuses!
in Brazil it is different they want to forgive the debt of the churches
So what about firefighters who put their lives on the line EVERYDAY even when there’s not an epidemic? Are they not in debt? Or does running in a burning building to save someone from fire not count because they could easily jump out a window if they don’t wanna be burned?
❤️
So what about firefighters who put their lives on the line EVERYDAY even when there’s not an epidemic? Are they not in debt? Or does running in burning building to save someone who could easily jump out the window and safe themselves not count? This might be stupidest bill ever.
Wow so we are just going to give them a freebie? I can't fucking afford to pay my student loans for 12 years now and interest is compounding to where I borrowed 25,000 I now owe 60,000. So no let them pay their shit off too, unless you are just going to wipe all loan debt.
How does this help us right now? It doesn't. It's just another money grab by powerful unions.
WritesMore Cool, now do the ppl working fast food drive thrus and grocery workers.
Veterinarians too?
That's ridiculous.
celebslovenicki
Never pass....these heroes help humanity. They don’t give Federal politicians large donations or have paid lobbyists pushing the bill. Plain and simple waste of time even though more than well deserved.
If you can get through that curriculum alone you should automatically have debt forgiveness. Have you seen their books? -ONE💯📕📚📕
JustinTrudeau take notes 📝
Great idea, now do everyone else
NationalNursesDay HappyNursesWeek WednesdayThoughts
Even if it passes, BetsyDeVosED is a fricken lying thief and will still collect money no matter how many times the courts demand her not to, no matter how many times she's held in contempt and no matter the amount of laws that make it illegal to do so.
Millions+ have paid off their student loans, why should they not have to.
Nope unless the bill goes across the board for all healthcare including mental health.
Just one more log on the socialism fire
It's a good idea.
Good
How about truck drivers? Will you pay my mortgage off?
Was astonished at all the sh*t people are responding to this news but then I remembered where im at
Whose rotten idea is this? My daughter is a nurse and has her school loan almost paid off. What will you do for her?
They are making the most money and still have a job. What about people who have no job currently but still have to pay for student loans? Fairness will be to forgive for everyone!
What Abt their parents loans to pay for school?
Wow. What about a grocery worker? Smh.
Wonderful!!!!
Just forgive all debts, pay all rent, give monthly stipend forever and food vouchers. Crazy!
Now this I’m cool with.
I don’t get it. They went into the profession knowing the risks. Giving high income earners hundreds of thousands because they are doing their job doesn’t seem to be a very liberal thing to do. There are much better ways to spend money to help people than this.
Damn if we treated or veterans this good
That’s awesome
Lol.... But we all got $1200.... ONCE..... to pay for 3 months of rent, food, gas, electric, etc..... This is insane. Hey, I make PPE for them, can I get my loans paid too? Oh, I don't have any because I paid them myself with overtime work.
Forgive the interest not the loan. You can't forgive the loans for one without forgiving them for all. This would put undue difficulties on people already struggling to pay taxes.
This is great news.
Bless Spain's (Europe's) quality public education.
They’re doing public service wherever they work. They deserve it. A good alternative could be, interest-fee student loans.
It was literally their job. That is to much. Who will have to foot the bill?
Why That money needs to go to the people who need it! Who don’t have food!! Or $ for utilities or are facing losing their homes. That makes no sense
Socialism first hand🇺🇸🤠
What about all the other essential workers with rediculous student loan debt working in their field?
B.S. all med workers make great compensation. They signed up for this
As a medical professional you take on the responsibility for caring for the sick, regardless of the ailment, sickness, or hazard. Did Dr treating the first AIDS patients receive “hazard pay” or student loan forgiveness?
Yes this would be great.
Just health workers?
This is so good. Vets get tuition for college why not the brave first liners in this pandemic. Please get this passes. FirstResponders
greta Ugh. Come on man
Should include everyone not in healthcare as well. All student debt forgiveness.
LeslieMarshall Better yet we forgive loans but they have to work four years in low income clinics
LeslieMarshall When they start making 100’s of thousands of dollars later in life like Leslie will they do what...
What about nurses, and other health care workers who have student debt and much lower incomes than doctors
This is a start.. but the real question is what else is hidden in the bill?
Damn, should have gone to med school
Risking their lives & families everyday to provide needs of the public. ESSENTIAL WORKERS (grocery, healthcare, delivery, police, some factory workers, food sector, transit, cleaners etc) now,more than ever, deserve $600/week stimulus too Why exclude them?
Awesome. I support this
Just make sure the bill helps those who really helped those with COVID-19, direct contact!!! “Healthcare workers” is a broad term ...
greta Buying an election?
greta They should forgive everyone's loans.
US intelligence officials warned of coronavirus crisis as early as last November. Why the warning was ignored?
What about all the other healthcare workers that worked through covid 19? In all fairness to even it up I suppose each doctor whose worked their whole life would need at least a $300,000 hazard pay bonus, and then adjusted accordingly for nurses, etc. Give me a break.
Come on.
Why not follow Germany's lead on higher education? . . . before we get completely left behind
greta No, especially when so many health workers are laid off and hospitals are in financial trouble because of the stupidity of lockdowns and fear porn by the media.
What do the people that sacrificed and struggled to get the loans paid off get? Nothing which is what the ones that still have debt get. Sorry need to be fair to all....
LOL
Why would the United States forgive the debt of a high paying profession that remains employed, when tens of millions of people have lost their jobs?
Good!
greta N.O.
greta Great idea!
Question, how come we dont shut down the country during flu season? 65,000 men woman and CHILDREN die every year so whats up with that? So its bad to die from the coronavirus but OK to die from the flu? The country must fully reopen, people will die, just like the flu
greta I don’t remember this kind of generosity for our service men and women for the last 20 yrs.
There better be a crisis in English literature or I’m f****
greta My daughter is an EE. She works in power distribution. Can you pay that too
When’s the next Civil War?
One would assume this would increase interest rates for the next medical student
This would be a great recognition to all these Heroes.
😫😫
❤️
greta Pay your debt
Smh. No
This should not pass. Unless its for all students with loans. None or all.
That’s called endentured servitude
