I know this sounds like a wacky idea, but I actually read the article. A couple of good things about the bill are that it puts caps and the amounts students can borrow ($50,000 for undergrad, $100K for graduate) and doubles the amount of Pell grants for juniors and seniors who are on track to graduate.
The bill was just introduced, so I'm sure there'd be lots of modifications to it. People have always had the option to defer payments if they can show economic hardship.

RFK is going to make everyone so healthy they won't need doctors.

Republicans will increase revenue streams by any means necessary other than raise taxes on the 5%.

Med school is completely separate from undergraduate or graduate academic degrees.
As I'm sure you know.

"Med school is completely separate"
So no caps at all?

Because according to tax law, med school is a graduate program.

Like I said, the bill was just proposed. Not much point in spazzing out over something that will be amended many times before there's a final vote on it.
What percentage of medical students rely solely on federal loans anyway?

The average medical school debt in 2023 was $202,453, according to the Education Data Initiative.

Who was spazzing out? I was just pointing out your claim was incorrect.

As someone in higher ed for many years, dealing with students and their financial issues, a 50K limit is not feasible for bigger schools or out-of-state tuition. Maybe 2 years of college, maybe.
