Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

I don't think IRS and USCIS communicate. In any event, lots of people resident in the US have income from abroad.

Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

Eh - that wasn't my point...

My point was that, because of the ridiculous insurance based system here, people have to (a) be absolutely sure what/which doctor/which hospital their insurance...

Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

It's like banging my head against a wall...

The US pays 16% of GDP for healthcare and covers - and I use the term loosely - 84% of the population.

Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

Silly me!!! I should have known that, instead, I should have taken a...

Re: Sorry that you all think the USA is not as great as UK

I have no idea, but the university offers 6 HMOs and only one PPO and everyone we know belongs to an HMO.
