One America News, RedState and The Epoch Times report that the administration has announced a program to recruit and retain nurses for nursing homes. The Epoch Times, citing the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, says the $275 million initiative offers eligible nurses up to $40,000 in student loan repayment and a $10,000 stipend for a three-year service commitment in rural nursing homes and other areas with labor shortages. RedState cites a Department of Health and Human Services announcement that the program is expected to support more than 4,000 nurses. One America News gives the funding as $250 million and says it would help hire 5,000 nurses. Trump announced the program at a campaign rally in Fort Myers, Florida.
