To remedy this, bills have been introduced in both the Senate and the House to create exemptions for payments received under this program.\u00a0 The bills have bipartisan support in both chambers.\u00a0 Correcting this unintended effect should, in normal times, be a simple fix.\u00a0 However, as we again face a shutdown of the government (at least at the time I write this) due to legislative gridlock, it would be a real disappointment to see this initiative falter due to the logjam caused by the current posturing. \u00a0Let\u2019s hope that our Congress can get back to its intended work that benefits the citizens. Twenty years ago, when the original bill was passed to support veterinarians in rural areas, it was a good idea.\u00a0 Today, passing a fix for the technical difficulties with that bill is still a good idea.\u00a0 Encourage your Senators and Representatives to support this worthwhile legislation even in this time of crisis; it\u2019s the right thing to do.
