I have a couple of nephews and nieces that opted out of the medical field even though they had the grades. They said that primarily it was because of the national health care agenda that is being touted. They don't think they can get their costs back if this happens.

I don't want to get political, but I believe that the "change" may have been what a lot of us are afraid of. I and a few friends are thinking of taking our 401k tax deferred savings out because of talk of taxing them next year. No reason to have them in tax deferred accounts if that happens. And that's what a lot of financial firms use for loans, etc.
