When the Beatles started to make a lot of money, John, Ringo and George moved away from Britain to avoid the huge taxes they were having to pay on their new incomes (remember "Taxman"?).
Paul maintained his residence in England. He was asked in an interview why he decided to stay and pay such huge income taxes (apparently around 95% in his income bracket). His reply was, "Do you want to live your life or just save a few quid?".
I'm sure you were only addressing what you feel are some very genuine concerns. It is an unfortunate fact of life that medical education is so unneccesarily expensive and access to that education is so unneccesarily limited.
I think most of us who pursue our educations abroad are a little more interested in the personal fulfillment medical practice can bring and a little less interested in making big bucks.
Do what you like and the money will follow (at least enough to keep up the payments).
Best of Luck to You!
