They can't legally. That power rests with the states.
Can anyone verify Trump endorsed David Shore? I have searched everywhere that lists all of his endorsements and his name is nowhere to be found. I began looking into this when some of the photos of Shore with Trump appeared to be sloppy photo shop. I asked a friend at his HQ and that person did some digging said Trump had not endorsed anyone in that race. ????????????????? What the hell?

These are on the level 10 year plan, but there's all kinds of consolidation that has to happen once repayment starts. MyThen  own student loans from 15 years ago were awarded by school year, so I ended up with 6 loans at graduation. they put you on 20 to 30 year terms which most people take for the lower monthly payments. My wife's loans from the late 1990s were at 3.75%.

Hmm...  5.5% or even 7.05% seems pretty reasonable to me, especially since the applicant likely has no real income.  I would think that even at a 10 year term the payment(s) would be pretty reasonable.  I don't understand the 8.05% rate if the parents co-sign a loan (assuming the parents have good credit).  I would think that the rate would actually be lower.

Just my opinion and the way that I have always done financing/loans, I would never take a longer term just for lower payments.  I do believe that by doing that you end up paying more in interest in the end.

Either way, I am of the opinion that if a person takes a loan they sign a contract.  They should fulfill the terms of that contract and not depend on others to pay their debt for them.

The loan can not be discharged in bankruptcy.  The risk is only delay of payment, not loss of principle.  8% is exorbitant given that fact, in my estimation.

But the whole thing is shenanigans.  The student loan system was never thought out.  It was patched together with thumbtacks and paste.

It would be in the best interest of the hospitals to get that info. Then they can at least try to get reimbursed. Now they just write it off but getting money back would be better for them.

He endorsed this week. Problem is Leek is the establishment candidate and going to be hard to beat. With 3 people running, the establishment will win.

Hospitals already get that money back through Disproportionate Share. They don't need to identify illegals to get that compensation, so this change has nothing to do with that and everything to do with politics.

Is that calculated by the number of uninsured intakes?

It's not hard to diagnose.  There are many that have the same TDS condition.

There will be an additional revenue stream if they check a box.

How much money do most liberal companies lose when starting up? They all lose tons of money and even years down the line still aren't profitable if they ever are. It's all financial balance sheets. They are also starting a streaming service so they will lose money until that is up and running. Ad revenue is down everywhere, so that is hurting them also.

I know the questions I ask and the facts I cite are uncomfortable for some people, but there's no use running away from them.  Eventually, you have to deal with reality.

He's pissed at Trump and MAGA. He's losing money and audience so he is trying to get some of it back.

Yeah, there's two methodologies for the calculation; one is volume the other is rate compared to other hospitals in the area. Since almost all hospitals in Texas are dealing with the influx it's likely that they will all have a higher payment.
