Here is an example of what you can say:
Hi, my name is [first name] and I am a constituent from [your city/district]. I am calling regarding the "One Big Beautiful Bill". A matter that has raised my concern is the clause in the bill that discusses the elimination of the Grad PLUS loan program. As you may know, most medical students rely on these loans to afford attending medical school. 70-75% of medical students depend on the Grad PLUS program to finance their education. Eliminating or capping the loans would restrict access to medical education to a wealthy few. I would kindly request that Senator or Representative [Last Name] vote against the bill. The future of medicine and healthcare is dependent on the accessibility of medical education. We trust you to do what is right.
Call every day, in the morning, afternoon, evenings, or whenever you have the time and overload their Voicemails!
Let them know what you stand for!
It might seem counterintuitive, but this is essential in getting their attention and demanding action.
