The article reports on the move of the U.S. Congress to introduce bills that attract and keep valuable professionals in public service. It is stated that healthcare is one industry that is particularly needed in the country. The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that nearly 50 million Americans do not have access to medical care. The bill proposal would reauthorize the National Health Service Corps Scholarship Program, a federal initiative that places about 4,000 primary care clinicians in medically underserved communities across the country. The legislation also provides competitive grants to support residency training at community health centers. Meanwhile, it is still unclear if Congress will ultimately pass laws supporting socially responsible employment.
