Points Clinton Made at the #DNC, Obama on Student Loans

Obama's Plan for Student Loans:
- Lower the cost of college
- 20 year term
- Low fixed rate
- Salary won't have to match the debt, people won't have to turn down jobs that pay less
 -Increase employment

Obama's Healthcare Plan:
- 1 billion dollars in refunds to customers from the insurance companies who spent the money on advertising etc
- 3 million people ages 19-25 now covered for the first time under their parents' policies
- Insurance companies even benefiting from millions of new customers that were denied previously for having a preexisting condition.
- Last 2 years, health care cost lowest it's been in 50 years

Obama on Medicare:
- Accused of robbing medicare of millions
     - His plan has no cuts to benefits
     - Money accused of being stolen was really from trimming the fat of Medicare that wasn't going to senior's benefit anyway
     - Used those savings to close donut hole in medicare program
          - what seniors pay out of pocket for prescription drugs
          - save some seniors thousands of dollars
- Solidified Medicare until 2024, the Romney plan would have Medicare dry out 8 years sooner
- As for Medicaid, the Romney's plan would cut it by 1/3, when 2/3 is currently being spent on nursing home care for seniors and children (and adults) with disability and autism.
- Cut healthcare for 1/3 of "poor families

Obama on The National Debt:
- Cut the national debt 4 trillion over the next decade.
- Uses simple "arithmetic", spend less per dollar made
- "We cant afford to double-down on trickle-down." which is the Romney plan
- 4 years of govt surplus when Clinton was in office and he likes Obama's plan

Oh yeah.... Clinton has a crush on Michelle.
