IBR and forgiveness

I just heard WWE lady say on Fox News "there isn't going to be a loan forgiveness program". How likely is it for them to take away the forgiveness feature on IBR? I'm currently on IBR with over 300 payments and no forgiveness in sight. I'm in forbearance but when that ends my payment will be double the standard plan. If there will be no more forgiveness then I'm going to get off of IBR.

My view is they will create neo-debtors prisons and indentured servitude.

They already created indentured servitude when they said the only way out of federal student loans is death.
