The Honorable Harry Reid United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Mitch McConnell United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 May 7, 2012 Dear Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell: As doctors and medical students, we 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. We urge you to support using other sources of funding to pay for keeping student loan rates low we should not cut off our nose to spite our face. Sincerely, The Undersigned Physicians and Medical Students, over 600 doctors and medical students in 47 states and the District of Columbia
