    What's scary is the idea of going through it all, amassing all of that debt, losing all of that time and then the govt interjecting and sayin that physicians are paid too much and capping earnings or some such nonsense.

Get a grip. What happens is that the government decides that the private sector can best determine what market rates ought to be so they deregulate insurance such that the industry can consolidate into four or five players who collude to ensure that the rates offered for basic care are commensurate with the lowest possible qualified attendant doing the work such that general practitioners and non-specialists can't be reimbursed for the costs of their basic supplies. Why, exactly, is there a "physicians shortage?"
