    Med Students Say Big, Beautiful Bill's
    Student Loan Cap Means They Won't Be
    Able to Finish School
    Jul 06 2025

    Medical students and pre-med hopefuls
    are raising alarm over one real-life
    implication of President Donald Trump's
    Big, Beautiful Bill: dramatic cuts to
    federal student loan programs that
    mean many prospective students can no
    longer afford to attend medical school.

    Trump signed the sweeping "One Big,
    Beautiful Bill Act" on Friday,
    prompting outcry from students whose
    dreams of practicing medicine have
    been "squashed overnight."

    Under the new law, students will see
    a lifetime cap of $200,000 on Federal
    Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
    for professional school—well below
    the average cost of attending medical
    school. The bill also eliminates the
    Graduate PLUS loan program, previously
    a critical tool that allowed students
    to borrow enough to cover full tuition
    and living expenses.

    The American Medical Association (AMA)
    argued against the legislation in a
    letter to the U.S. Senate, warning
    that caps placed on loan options for
    graduate and professional students
    will worsen an expected doctor
    shortage. >https://www.latintimes.com/med-students-say-big-beautiful-bill-student-loa >n-cap-wont-finish-med-school-doctor-shortage-586231









    Who needs damn Doctors? I'd rather see the 1% get that fat Trump tax cut because he says one day it will trickle down to me!

    Besides, Look what Faucci did to us! Trump's gonna lock him up.

    we do not need doctors.

    We don't... at least not the watered down versions.

    Standards have been lowered so far as to having TOO many unqualified doctors now.

    Whatever policies you're whining about now, will only produce BETTER doctors.
    And a redneck from Bumfuck, Florida is now an expert on the state of
    medical education in the US!

    I don't think I want to be treated by a doctor who is too stupid to
    believe that the only place to get a loan is through the government.

    Doctors don't deserve the preferred interest rates offered by government anyway. They should get private financing, maybe by some Italian dude who
    runs the south east side.


    Besides, if the government loans them money we can force them to swear
    loyalty to Trump and his agenda for life!

    Trump can't do half the things he's doing once the government doesn't come
    into play. How will he instill his will on people then? Deportations?
    Visits from Homeland? Intense scrutiny by the IRS, FBI and ICE?

    He has the power and those of you who don't believe in him will pay dearly
    for your insolence.
