Dear Chairwoman Murray, Chairman Scott as well as Ranking Members Burr and Foxx:
On behalf of our organizations, we call on Congress to address high student loan debt levels facing many borrowers, including physicians and dentists, and urge Congress to consider the “Resident Education Deferred Interest (REDI) Act” (S 3658/HR 4122) among the potential legislative solutions.
While we appreciate potential efforts by the Biden Administration to provide some level of assistance to borrowers, including medical and dental residents, Congress needs to enact long-term solutions to ensure borrowers do not continue to be burdened with insurmountable student debt levels.
