What does nationalizing the student loan industry have to do with health care?

Just asking?

The Washington Post: Senate Democrats said Thursday that they are inclined to add an overhaul of the nation’s student loan program to the final health-care bill.

The move would create a potential double victory for President Obama, who has championed both causes as among domestic priorities. And Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said Thursday, “There was a stronger feeling for including” the education proposal. Some senators disagreed with the strategy, Durbin said, adding that a final decision has yet to be reached.

This is reason #2075 to oppose passage of the Democrats’ health care legislation.
