Decent healthcare?

_Clueless$y$t€m_

That's truly terrifying. What kind of thought process must you have to think it's OK to drive on the roads if you need a white stick to negotiate the car park...although at least he didn't have to go far to get to the disabled spot.

Jam free roads

Not the I-90 when I was running late for my citizenship interview, that's for sure ...

Ethelred, I am in the same boat as you. Still would love to live in the UK and let my American family experience that but recent events in Belfast have soured me on that idea a wee bit so I am trying to make the best of things here for a change.

However - my experience in the US thus far is what turned me into the left-wing twat that I am today so perhaps that is what you should like ...

When I do a Red Cross blood run I can tell me wife within 15 minutes when I will be home. The shortest trip is 2:30 and the longest 6 hours. I doubt it takes me longer more than 5% of the time.

As long as I stay close to home it's the same. It's only when I have to go to Chicago (and I rarely do if I can get away with it) when I face the inevitable jam.

Oh dear, here we go again.
Not content with a " Convince me NOT to go back to the UK thread " which dragged its sorry arse through most of November until a Mod finally put it out of its misery along comes the latest instalment of why you don't like America.
Why not just launch a " Let's talk about me " thread and divert your daily outpouring of bile into there ?
This is just attention-seeking at its worst.

I like each of the 3 states I have lived in. Michigan, Indiana and now South Carolina. All for different reasons. My kids are enjoying being here and that helps me enjoy it. My husband is really enjoying his new job and again that helps me enjoy being here. I feel more at home here than I did in the UK. My family all live in Scotland and I have not lived in the same country as them for half of my life. I cannot imagine moving back. I do get homesick every so often, mainly for chocolate or pub lunches, but I try not to dwell on it as that really won't help. I am more of a glass is half full than half empty type of person. I could be thoroughly miserable here if I wanted to. I could moan about fact we only have 1 car but at least we have a car, live in a crappy townhouse with a washer dryer older than I am but at least we have a roof over our heads, we don't have much money but at least we have enough to put food on the table. Life if what you make of it and I am choosing to make it a good one.

Understandable. It's definitely far better to put all into making it work when you've a family. It's also not going to be quite the same UK as the one we left behind. Those events in Belfast would sour me too.

It's a big country. That's one beauty of it. Scenery wise, it has pretty much everything.

I have always had wonderful healthcare in the US. I think the healthcare available is top notch! Never had a problem.

Jerseygirl

So have I...but there again we have great heathcare insurance...many don't.

Cuthbert Rizla

The fact that she is not here rather suggests she wasn't that great in the trolling department,don't you think ?

However I would appreciate it if you would put me on ignore once again,
And permanently this time.
Then I don't have to join in your conversation all about you.

Jerseygirl

I suggest you put him on ignore if his threads/posts annoy you so much.

Our experience is it is as good as in the UK, just FVCKINBG expensive...

Except for the tests & cr@p you have to do incase you sue the doctor or in case s/he just wants 'more wonga'...

HarryTheSpider

And you managed to accomplish this mission nicely...

HarryTheSpider

I like the fact that coming to live in the USA meant I found BE....

(I know, I know... )
