Sometimes, i have nightmares about it, which i shouldnt, but it is something that im trying to put a dollar in a piggy bank every day just to make sure that i can at least put 50 towards that or at least towards the interest that is accumulating. It is definitely something that is worrying me. I hope to get through it as soon as i can. I just want to say that loan forgiveness is one part of how we need to respond to this staggering student debt issue. She is facing a worrisome amount , if you but imagine want to go on through college and med school and become a physician, and we desperately need more primary care physicians, the amount of debt involved. We are going to have to look at the types of Public Service and work that we want people to be able to afford to do. We want teachers to be able to afford to have a good standard of living and not be crippled wi

Samaritans purse is working is theres no protocol to move blood from liberia to laboratory where these tests need to be checked and results found out.

If my written testimony, theres one paper from the new england journal of medicine that reports that 95 of the cases of ebola incubate in 21 days. The inference is 5 not until 42 days. We need to know what the 5 means. While the Media Coverage is already decreasing and people feel that ebola has peaked, we do not think it has. I totally agree with dr.
