Another is this is closer to my wives family, which is important.

Yes, America does have SOME of the best healthcare that money can buy, so some come here (not all, the best healthcare in the world is in Spain) but that best that money can buy, doesn't help the 40 million Americans that are citizens of the richest country in the world and can't afford and so don't have healthcare at all. I am glad you got yours, sucks to be them doesn't it. I know, I know, they ALL are lazy and made bad life choices. Such a Christian country we live in, where 6 million children go to bed hungry every night.

And by spiraling down, I meant if politics continue to spiral down, we will leave. This is no longer the welcoming friendly country I grew up in and at my age, I prefer to like my neighbors, which in Ecuador was easier to do.

Bye.
