We face a major crisis in healthcare, and 1 want to thank you and the authors of
SB 2298 for bringing this idea forward. lam not knowledgeable enough to know how
effective a tax credit will be in meeting our need for more healthcare providers, but any
innovative approach is bound to help and is welcomed.
1 appreciate your hearing SB 2298, SD 1, and hope you will avorably on it.
