Free community college for everyone? We can all be Aric Hall!
#5
There are no caps with ACA, but the government is not covering the complete cost of insurance. The government is giving subsidies based on a person's income. That would be more akin to giving someone a grant based on income. It would be up to the person to choose where her or she wants to spend his or her money and grant.

I know that community colleges in California used to be free. They are now free to high school students who meet the criteria in Tennessee. Tennessee's new law apparently inspired Obama. Oregon was considering something similar, but I don't know what happened with that.

There are two ways this could go. Congress could reject this in favor of having states come up with their own solutions, or they could support it because it streamlines financial aid. I'm thinking the former is more likely.
