IBR/PSLF is a sure thing

So, like many medical students I plan on spending ages going through residency and fellowship, making IBR and PSLF a really good deal. I've had a number of people question whether that program was going to stay around. I thought for political reasons this was an unfounded worry. Apparently I have even less reason to worry according to this article: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....act_id=2179625 It is written by a law professor addressing a book that talks about the crisis in legal education. That's not really important to us. What is important is that according to him stuff like IBR is baked into the master promissory note you sign electronically when you take out loans. Basically, the federal government has a contractual obligation to maintain those programs for current borrowers. So we don't have to worry. He's a law professor and the responses I've seen to that article by other law professors/lawyers agree with his analysis on IBR/PSLF. So umm that's good. Thought I'd share.
