ASAHP joined 56 national and state organizations in expressing concern with the higher education provisions in the House-passed budget reconciliation bill, specifically the impacts such cuts would have on health professions education and the future health care workforce. The letter urges the senate to preserve subsidized loans for undergraduates, retain the Grad PLUS Program, and increase the proposed aggregate limit for unsubsidized federal loans, which includes lifetime borrowing for both undergraduate and graduate education.
