Cancel all student loans of medical staff, NHS, for working during C-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the student loans of all medical students cancelled as a thank you for tirelessly working during the C-19 pandemic.
They have without care for their own safety put their lives on the line daily and as a gratitude from the UK to them, all student debt should be cancelled
Because without the medical staff at this time, the government will be at it knees. We love what the government are doing for the whole country, but this is something we can do for the staff working in the front line.
C-19 is killing our Dr our Nurses our carers, and they still go! They still work tirelessly to support our dying and contaminated patients with all the compassion and empathy have.
