Comment on $1B gift to make Johns Hopkins medical school free for mostparent

That would set up bad incentives. Students might be more tempted to keep their salary under the threshold until the loan expires, or even to temporarily drop out of the field altogether (e.g. to raise children).

Expecting the parents to pay for their children also comes with issues, but in general successful parents do want to have successful children.
