senate 03/11/2025 - 119th Congress

We are introducing a bill to amend the Higher Education Act to allow medical and dental interns and residents to defer their student loan payments interest-free during their training. Our goal is to alleviate financial pressure on these professionals so they can focus on their critical work in healthcare without the burden of accumulating interest.
