Investment in the future: act now to save important student aid program

Article Abstract:

Legislators intent on lowering the federal deficit should not penalize in-school students by canceling their student loan interest exemption. The majority of medical students now use these loans, and loss of the exemption would add thousands of dollars to their already heavy indebtedness at graduation. The country benefits greatly from the highly trained graduates of medical schools and other college programs.

Since the funds consist of taxpayer dollars and total almost $7 billion annually, they represent a huge investment and therefore should be monitored. Many hospitals may not be focusing on quality education due to other issues and concerns associated with health care.
