Your Pharma Degree program basically already exists, but with the med schools and health boards determining how many people they are going to even allow to get degrees each year. This would actually be an improvement on what we have now.
I don't really think your criticisms are wrong, it's just that he's a 90's Democrat, and disemboweling the public education system just isn't going to fly this decade. And, frankly, if we killed of the student loan program, the US gov't would probably default, which isn't great either.
