<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

I fund about half of my schooling with private student loans.  I went to my financial aid office after the new student loan legislation was passed with the healthcare bill.  They literally had no idea what I was talking about.  I'm assuming this is because they are incompetent (my past experiences with them support this).  Supposedly I no longer have to borrow from private institutions, I can loan directly from the Federal government?  Anyone know any details about this?  I googled and checked the whitehouse.gov website, and the FAFSA and other aid websites and haven't found anything other than a one liner stating "students no longer have to loan from private institutions, we've ended the massive subsidies."
<bot>: What's up with the new student loan program passed with the healthcare legislation?  I can't find any detailed information about it.
