Dear Chairman Cassidy and Ranking Member Sanders:
On behalf of the following organizations, we would like to express our concern with some of the language put forth by the HELP committee in its contribution to the reconciliation package. We acknowledge the significant financial burden of higher education – particularly medical and dental
school – and while we appreciate the legislation’s intent to reduce tuition costs, we believe such changes will take time to become reality, if at all. In the meantime, several provisions in the legislation would unintentionally make medical and dental education less accessible to many qualified individuals, exacerbating workforce shortages and jeopardizing patient access to care.
