What impact will the new government health care insurance have on jobs in the health care field?

I am planning on going into nursing, but I'm afraid that this will greatly reduce job opportunities and cut the pay of health care workers.

if nursing is what you want to do then do it. It will always be in demand. With this d@mn health care crap in play, they might cut pay. Sure more people, but it's basically medicaid for all. Medicare pays like sh!t. Therefore hospitals make less. They can't pay too little though or the hospitals will lose nurses. But keep in mind try to work for a private hospital. They can accept or decline any insurance they want. So besides in the er where you have to stabilize any and all patients, regardless of pay, the private hospitals and md offices will possibly/probably refuse or limit the number of patients with this government insurance. Don't change what you want to do or become because of what might happen. Who knows, obama may be voted out next election and the new president might veto this health care plan. And things will be back to normal. If you want to be a nurse, then do it. If you change to do something else because of this you might not be as happy. Good luck!
