Default Letter Thank you

I’m writing today as your constituent to urge you to become a co-sponsor for the bipartisan, bicameral Resident Education Deferred Interest (REDI) Act (S.942 / H.R.2028), introduced by Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and John Boozman (R-AR) and House Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX-36) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-6).
Median student debt for medical graduates exceeds $200,000, while residency salaries average about $60,000. Current law requires residents to accrue interest on loans during training, even if payments are paused. This added burden can discourage doctors from pursuing specialized care or practicing in underserved areas. 
The REDI Act recognizes the unique financial challenges faced by residents, who often earn modest stipends while carrying high levels of student debt and would allow medical and dental residents to defer student loan payments interest-free during their training. 
The REDI Act would:
<ul>
<li>Relieve financial stress during training years by stopping interest accrual.</li>
<li>Support workforce development in specialized care.</li>
<li>Encourage more physicians to practice in rural and underserved areas.</li>
</ul>
The REDI Act currently has 9 co-sponsors in the Senate and 63 co-sponsors in the House. Please join them in co-sponsoring the bill to help ensure this important legislation gets passed!
Thank you in advance for your support and for being an advocate for healthcare workers! I appreciate your help.
