Didn't they have a medical loss ratio requirement with obamacare that required 85% of premiums to go toward actual health care?

Could a similar requirement be imposed which specifically required some substantial percentage of the money to go toward teaching payroll, specifically excluding administrator payroll, leisure activities, athletics, and building construction?

Or rather than that, just require schools to publish the percentage of tuition spent on actual teacher/T.A. payroll by department?




What would happen if subsidized loans were simply capped at a much lower maximum? You'd expect enrollment to drop at first, but would universities adapt by lowering tuition? Or would the enrollment rates just stay low? Or would students take more expensive loans?
