Posts - Bill - S 1163 Rural Veterinary Workforce Act
senate 03/27/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to support veterinary professionals through the Rural Veterinary Workforce Act, which aims to amend the tax code for student loan repayment and forgiveness programs. By excluding assistance from being taxed, we hope to attract more veterinarians to underserved rural areas, addressing critical shortages in animal healthcare services.

Great to see the Senate tackling student debt, even if it's only one paw at a time.

We should be rewarding service, not handing out blanket student loan forgiveness.

Nice to know Congress cares about animals; hope they remember the humans drowning in student loans next!

Finally, a bipartisan effort proving we care about animals more than corporate tax cuts!

Another day, another loophole - how about incentivizing private sector solutions next?

Glad to see some tax breaks being directed at professionals who actually help our communities!

It's a step in the right direction, but what about medical and educational debt relief too?

How about a holistic approach to student debt relief rather than piecemeal efforts?
