Most medical students at Johns Hopkins University will no longer pay tuition thanks to a $1 billion gift from Bloomberg Philanthropies announced Monday.

Starting in the fall, the donation will cover full tuition for medical students from families earning less than $300,000. Living expenses and fees will be covered for students from families who earn up to $175,000.

With a billion dollars, I'd just buy enough congressman to make university free for everyone. They're not even that expensive

He did try to buy an election already.

True, true. Funny how it's so much cheaper to own an elected official than it is to be one

It makes sense. They don't want to share the pie. But will happily accept an extra slice.
