Dear Senator:
As a doctor or medical student, I oppose the recent House decision to use Prevention and Public Health Funds to keep student loan interest rates low.
Both programs are vital to the future and health of the nation.
Prevention saves lives, reduces health care costs, and makes our country a healthier, more productive place.
I urge you to support Senator Harkin's bill to use other sources of funding to pay for keeping student loan rates low – we should not cut off our nose to spite our face.
Sincerely,
