Trump’s OBBBA will cap federal loans on July 1. Republicans are going over Trump’s head to save student loans for nurses

The Trump administration plans to enforce a cap on federal student loans starting July 1, aiming to reduce university costs. However, Republicans are pushing back, particularly for nurses, arguing that the cap could exacerbate an existing shortage by making graduate education too expensive. They're urging the administration to reconsider, highlighting the critical need for more nurses. This move underscores the tension between cost-saving measures and the urgent need to support key healthcare professions.
