Ps - the NHS is sustainable, but only if the gov supports it rather than try to destroy it.

Re: private health insurance - family of 5

In Miami. Job is on Key Biscayne, but we'd rent somewhere on mainland. No schools, no child care.

Re: private health insurance - family of 5

It is good - if there's a job!

We had actually envisaged me staying home with the children as we both share child care now and have no child care costs in the UK. However, my job could pay for...

Re: private health insurance - family of 5

Rene,
What is "good health insurance"? That sounds really good, but do you have to pay something per month, like deducted from your monthly wage, or is it all covered by your company?

Can you...

Re: private health insurance - family of 5

It's a lot to take in. Without giving all the specifics - the job comes with a monthly "cost of living" stipend in addition to the base wage. We would most definitely rent and a only looking to rent...

Re: Wife returning to UK after 1-year absence - 2-year spouse visa still valid

Thanks for that. I'll try over there. Immigration is always as clear as mud, but others' experiences can help give an idea.
Cheers!

Re: US (UK resident) wife got job in USA - how can I move with her and our 3 children

It was as if the job was written for my wife - which is why we've decided to go. Otherwise, we'd stay here where we're perfectly happy. The wage would be more than double what we earn together now,...

Re: US (UK resident) wife got job in USA - how can I move with her and our 3 children
