A doctor breaks down what's broken in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and how to fix it. The PSLF is supposed to reward people who work in public service, but qualification rules are so tangled that most people who should qualify don't.
What changes, if any, would you make to the PSLF program? You know, it's significantly politicized, I think, more than it should be. You know, whether you're independent, whether you're Democrat, whether you're Republican or no Republican at all. Student loan indebtedness impacts just about everybody. So if I were to change something, you know, even taking care of patients with Medicaid should allow people to qualify for public service loan forgiveness. Just the repercussions of seeing those types of pay patients. But I would make it easier to qualify. And I think the Biden administration has started to do some of that. But we still have a long ways to go. I'm just one who believes that if you pay a debt to society by devoting your life to working in any sort of public service, you should be rewarded for that.
