With the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, H.R. 1, now in the Senate for consideration, harmful provisions that eliminate Grad PLUS loans, cap federal borrowing, limit Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) for medical residents and establish risk-sharing/accountability for higher education institutions continue to advance through the budget reconciliation process. With a growing physician shortage, we cannot afford to enact policies that make it harder for COMs to train the next generation of doctors. Contact your elected officials today and urge them to protect the Grad PLUS Loan Program, oppose federal borrowing caps, maintain PSLF eligibility for medical residency and reject unfair risk-sharing/accountability policies that harm students and COMs. |
