the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed, and it places a $150,000 cap on student loans for graduate programs. As someone who doesn’t come from a wealthy background, this is deeply concerning. I’ve worked hard toward my dream of becoming a physician, but with this cap, I genuinely don’t know how I’ll afford medical school. It’s not just about me—this will make it so much harder for people from underserved communities to become the doctors, lawyers, or CRNAs who are desperately needed.
Schools claim to value diversity and equity, but how can they uphold that when only the wealthy can realistically access these professions? It’s hard not to feel like this bill is actively working against the future of people like me—and, in some ways, against the future of America itself. I can only imagine the disaster this would cause and wreck the economy as their will be a shortage of doctors in the field. Or how would medical schools would take this into consideration for their applicants
What should I do?

Silly you, insider trading is what it’s all about now
I worry about this. We need educated & licensed people for so many jobs. Do they think only wealthy people become engineers, doctors, lawyers, tech professionals, and scientists?
Who needs an educated populace anyway? /s
They want to keep people ignorant – after all, the terminally ignorant make up 1/2 the MAGAt voter base.
There is a medical school in NY that just received a huge donation and are offering free tuition for medical students. You can also look into studying abroad in a more progressive country.
