This did not become an issue until FedGov took over the student loan industry as part of ACA.
As for what Trump said, idk.
Did he say it would be “great” program?
Government involvement in both college tuition and health care way predates the ACA. The ACA just made both more expensive.
The intent is to screw up both so badly that the government will just have to take both over totally. Or so the libtards will argue. Because the cure for liberalism's messes is always more liberalism!
