That’s why we eliminated tens of billions of dollars in wasteful taxpayer subsidies to big banks that provide student loans. We’re using those savings to put a college education within reach for working families.
That’s why we passed health insurance reform that will make coverage affordable; reform that ends the indignity of insurance companies jacking up your premiums at will or denying you coverage just because you get sick; reform that shifts control from them to you.
Don’t forget, changes to the student loan program were part of health care reform. So the question is, do you believe those “savings” will go toward more student loans or paying for the federal government’s takeover of the healthcare industry?
