Student Debt Forgiveness

[AlbionGirl]

This is a case where I support student loan forgiveness. The program is targeted to solve a problem and the funding comes from a state tobacco tax.

It’s a trade aimed at getting more doctors to treat poorer patients: California this week said it will help repay the student loans of 247 selected doctors in exchange for their promise that at least 30 percent of their caseload will be people enrolled in Medi-Cal.

Later this summer, the state will announce awards for dentists who applied to participate in the loan repayment program for serving Denti-Cal patients.
