“We will get through this. That is who we are. That is what we do. Throughout our country's history, with leadership and resources, the American people have shown resilience to overcome every crisis we faced. This will be no different. As we meet here in this Chamber, across America, from Eden Hospital in Castro Valley, California, to hospitals in New York City, our health workers, our doctors, our nurses, our receptionists--the janitors who support them--are toiling away to heal the sick. We see them. We hear them. We need them. And this bill, more than for anyone else, is for them. This relief package also helps the next generation: student borrowers, people who are working their first jobs and paying off their student loan debt and, without a paycheck, find themselves in financial quicksand. This allows them to cancel their payments through the end of the fall and also suspends the accrual of interest. Mr. Speaker, we will get through this. It is just who we are, and it is what we do.”
