create tax incentives for behavioral health care workers who care for sick and unwanted children for low wages.

This petition requests that the government recognizes the hard work and dedication of thousands of health care workers who dedicate their time, energy and talents in order to provide care to sick and unwanted children. These workers sacrifice attaining monetary gain in order to care for children in an industry that cannot afford to pay them the wage that they deserve. Recognizing that the healthcare system is under financial duress, a tax incentive or credit for working with the nation's children is requested. The people working in this industry do so in most instances because they believe it is the right and necessary thing to do. A tax incentive or credit could allow workers to put their own children into daycare, and attract college graduates to a field lacking financial incentives.
