    What the tax bill does to graduate students alone — the seed of our economic future — should be reason enough to stop this disaster. And then there is what it does to healthcare for millions. I am baffled by the GOP complicity in inflicting damage on this scale.

        I am the youngest of three daughters raised by a single mom. I went to Undergrad, Med school and grad school because of tuition waivers. With the #GOPTaxBill, I would not have been able to afford any of this.

        THEIR BIG MONEY DONORS TOLD THEM THE CONTRIBUTIONS WOULD STOP IF THEY DIDN'T PASS TAX "REFORM". It's just not that complicated. Certainly not 'baffling'.

        I'm lined up on the runway for grad school starting next year. In healthcare. I am too far along in the process to just drop it. I am seriously f*cked if this goes through. 😡

        Short term gain at the expense of the nation’s future is the price we will pay for ideologically driven policy, instead of data driven outcome based policy.

        I am saddened more than baffled. They are afraid, very afraid, of their donor base, Trump' s base, and fox+talk radio. We are living under tyranny of angry old white males. Hopefully, temporary, but dangerous, maybe lethal for many.

        Watching this is like watching an execution of an innocent person (the American public) in slow motion. It is horrifying and maddening at the same time.

        Maybe people will wake up when they realize the pool of medical school applicants will consist only of the wealthy, the very wealthy, which means the bar will have to lower substantially. "Hi, I'm Eric Trump, and I'll be performing your bypass today."

        Perfectly said, Atul. I am dumbfounded at how anyone can say with a straight face that this will not harm the education, health, and even lives of millions of Americans who supposedly voted these people into office.

        Astonished by political posturing of a foremost physician. I am a moderate but i still find your standing a sign of your “bias”. Just say you don’t like the president period. Even if he fixes everything you like, you are going to find it reprehensible #WednesdayWisdom

        There is no bias in saying that it’s a bad idea to make a grad student making $30k pay takes on $80k. That will decimate graduate education and hamstring the R&D that is crucial to our economy.

        There isn't much positive to say about Trump. That's not because of partisan bias, it's because he's a disaster and a criminal.

        Goodbye medical/scientific research. Goodbye innovation. Sure hope none of those bastards supporting it are hoping for a cure for their child's cancer, or theirs, or father's Alzheimer's, or better electronics, or cars, or drought-resistant crops, or, or, or, or....
