[B] More international students will attend US medical schools and nursing schools to try and get jobs in this country. These students will send money back to their home countries once they start working and that money will leave our US economy.
[C] Government deficit spending to cover Medicare, etc requires borrowing which makes dollars more valuable to people loaning money to government. This makes American goods look more expensive internationally since they are sold for dollars.
