It really is.

The US saw an average of $14,885 per-capita healthcare costs in 2024. Higher now.

I’m never going to defend the American health care system as I sit in a country now for six weeks where I fully plan to become a resident of post retirement mainly because of the healthcare even if I don’t live here full time.

I think the world would be a much better place if travel was more common.

Having people see how other countries work on a regular basis really opens your eyes.

And then you have travel and expensive healthcare to pay for.

		I’m also not treating these six weeks as a tourist. My wife and I both learning Spanish - she’s just starting I’m at around a high A2 (https://www.escuela-hablamos.com/en/understanding-the-common...). We are involved in ex pat groups on Facebook, have gone to meet ups, and are having dinner with a few people we have met.
