I am goi8ng to ignore Pedoxxxpete. He is banned for a reason, and I can guess as to what it is.


Anyways, Steve, that link is perfect for understanding the healthc- er, insurance, reform.



We wouldn't have to use insurance if the doctors didn't bill you $500 just for checking to see if your heart was still beating, though.
i liek turtelz xd
So during the week I read the american health care bill (2310 pages or so).

Turns out America is also stopping government assitance for college.

In b4 100% of students are international, or classes are 5 students/1 lecturer

Do you have the part where it mentions this? All I'm finding browsing news sites is that it's getting rid of private bank fees and putting some of the savings into Pell Grants. This would directly affect me, so you've got me concerned.

Could you elaborate?
I don't know much about the American student support system, but it could be something similar to the cuts that are happening here.

Yes, please elaborate, or at least link. I know this year I got a huge rebate on my govt. loans, and without them I would be fucked. Not trying to argue, just need to see it.

I've looked through the bill, all I'm finding is things like

(i) $2,030,000,000 for fiscal year 2008;
(ii) $2,733,000,000 for fiscal year 2009; and
(iii) such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 2010 and each subsequent fiscal year to provide the amount of increase of the maximum Federal Pell Grant required by clauses (ii) and (iii) of subparagraph (B).

And then it goes on about how it's increasing Pell Grants. Do you have anything more specific than ctrl-F? I'm wondering what you read that talks about stopping government assistance for college.

It probably wont affect you. My wording was pretty awful, to be honest.

This
This

It probably affects the government more than you.

My bad regarding the misunderstanding, it was 2300 pages, and the terms regarding govt assistance are a little different in america than they are here so let me slide on this one . What I meant to say was that that the government were ending student loans and taking-over with a new scheme (for the purpose of generating profit) - whereas Hecs (our version of student loan) already has government involvement iirc ergo the confusion

Not a lot of people like the changes to education, and neither do I.


You can probably find out more by googling about education reforms in america
