Braley: Help Doctors Repay Loans If They`ll Work for VA
June 11, 2014
Doctors and nurses who are willing to work at VA hospitals and clinics should be eligible for a national loan-repayment program, Rep. Bruce Braley says.
The Iowa Democrat has introduced a bill that would open up the National Health Service Corps to doctors, nurses and other health-providers who go to work for the Department of Veterans Affairs or state veterans' homes. The program now provides scholarships or college-loan repayments to health-care providers who agree to work in "underserved areas," which are mainly in rural America.
Braley's bill is a response to the continuing scandal over waiting times at VA hospitals and clinics.
