The bill, H. 3349, is a House Resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly that urges the United States Congress to enact federal legislation aimed at forgiving the student loan debt of all registered nurses and doctors. The resolution highlights the significant financial burden that extensive education imposes on these healthcare professionals and emphasizes the critical need for more individuals to enter the nursing and medical fields to address the country's healthcare demands.
The resolution articulates the belief that alleviating student loan debt will not only support current healthcare workers but also encourage future generations to pursue careers in medicine. By advocating for this federal action, the South Carolina House of Representatives aims to promote a healthier workforce and ensure the availability of essential healthcare services.
