EVENT ORIGINALLY BROADCAST: September 18, 2006 Within the next two weeks, the US Department of Educations Inspector General is expected to release an audit of the Nelnet Corporation, a major student loan provider, recommending that it be ordered to repay hundreds millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidy payments to the US Treasury and halt additional, future subsidy billings estimated to exceed .3 billion. At issue are subsidy payments guaranteeing Nelnet and other student loan companies a 9.5 percent rate of return for student loans originally issued at interest rates as low as 3.5 percent. Congress thought it got rid of the 9.5 percent guarantee in 1993, but due to a legislative loophole and lax federal oversight, the subsidy continued and grew exponentially over the last several years. At this New America event, the Bush Administration whistleblower who originally reported the 9.5 percent loan scandal to Congress and the media told his side of the story in his first-ever public appearance. In addition, Raza Khan, President and Co-Founder of student loan provider MyRichUncle, discussed additional taxpayer subsidies in the federal student loan program and how lenders use the extra money in ways that might or might not be in the best interests of students and families. Doug Lederman, editor of Inside Higher Ed, responded to the remarks of both speakers. www.newamerica.net

newpatientfinancing.com Do you have patients walk out because they can’t afford your care… AND they get denied from CareCredit… CapitalOne… Enhanced… and the other top tier financing companies? I think every Doc would answer in the affirmative. These top tier companies only finance about 20% of your patients that have great credit. I’m talking about financing the other 80%. Would you like to have access to financing for EVERY patient? The “other” 80%. It’s not a pipe dream… it’s reality. Let me ask these questions a different way. If you had the option of getting financing for every patient that walked out because they “couldn’t afford it”… do you think you would collect more each and every week? Depending on your case fees… 1 patient per week = 00-00 That’s 000-4000 more in your bank account simply because you were able to offer financing for your patients that were going to walk out on you. Let me give you a high level overview. *No enrollment fee for the Doctor or Patient *Financing for every patient… even credit scores in the 500′s *Designed by Doctors and Bankers *Personal Finance Manger for your practice *No more patients walking out due to financing You have nothing to lose… except more patients.
