Can we receive shelter in another country as health care refugees from the United States?

[Fridays Child]

Because it may come to that for a whole lot of us.

1. It seems unlikely.

Which Country would you go to?

Bryant

3. Cuba.

4. Comment intended more as ridicule aimed at (what is only barely) my government.

But, if I were looking to relocate to another country, it'd have to be english-speaking. I'm not fluent in any other language. Canada, Australia, Ireland, England, I don't know.

7. I've heard that a lot of people are retiring to Mexico & are permitted to

buy into their HC system at some rediculously low rate. I don't recall for sure but it was something like $50-$100 a month. Of course I also heard that the Mexican Gov'/t is getting concerned about it being so many people that it is taxing their system.

2. Health care asylum seekers? n/t

[Fridays Child]

5. Yes, from the richest country on earth.

What a stain. Our system is so broken.

[monmouth]

6. Well, Tiger is thinking about moving to France (re HuffPo) and I hear

they have great health care. My aunt and uncle have a home near Lyon....hmmmmmm.

[Fridays Child]

10. Yes, they do have great health care.

And France is a beautiful country, too.

[monmouth]

12. I do speak passable French and let's face it.....the food! Oh my...n/t

[Fridays Child]

19. Good stuff!

[babylonsister]

8. If you were going to go, I'd think you'd have already left

during idiot son's reign of terra.

[Fridays Child]

11. Therein lies the irony.

At this point, I fear that our political system is broken beyond the ability of any person, or group of people, to repair it.

[Oregone]

21. And few did

Outside, everyone loves to bitch, but deep down, how bad does it really hurt people to have their money siphoned to corporations and used to bomb and maim people while they struggle?

Its been broke for a long time. Maybe the illusion that it is fixable is being shattered, but beyond that, nothing is new

9. Kinda...

The Daily Show did a segment a week or so ago about people moving to Mexico for their superior health care system.

[Fridays Child]

14. Really?

I'll look for that segment online.

[NuttyFluffers]

23. it's always wonderful when you receive an unexpected gift, isn't it?

i really do hope you get to collect. i may have to hit up the same poster when i decide to do the same expat move to Mexico! :) let me know if you get the goods! :evilgrin:

[Fridays Child]

25. Yes, indeed.

When do you think would be a good time to mention that I prefer to fly business class? :rofl:

24. I wish Canada would offer their insurance, which is like our Medicare, for

us to buy into. Of course Congress would make a law forbidding it like they did when we were getting cheaper drugs from Canada.
