We have blue cross.

Sorry, my reply was truncated. We are allowed to keep it even past age 65 as it is part of a US federal pension scheme. Most people over 65 in the US are forced into a government run plan that is nowhere near as widely accepted.

@snterp I mean I could do without the global "dumb and fat" contingent, but alas they are with us everywhere. Its such a shame! I had a bad time in Barcelona with my American husband and it tainted my view of the entire country (unfairly). Maybe I need to take another look. I listened to Mr. Casey on this channel and "don't live in the country that holds your slave papers" struck a chord with me. Cord? Chord? English, so fun!

Me too, and we ceased all business operations in that craphole a decade ago and I still hear from them. Illinois and NY are not far behind in terms of stunningly unattractive business climate with overly aggressive state collections tactics. Oh and Hawaii, do not get me started on Hawaii. Every aloha & mahalo costs you $50.

@pr3ttypimpcess Totally female? Who commits fully to a gender in 2020. Asking for a friend.

I was also for leaving before the pandemic, but we are staying for now. I am an immigrant to the US so have another passport (for what it is worth) and my American husband became St. Lucian just in case. But for now we stay put and join you with the red thing.

Service is crap for the money everywhere in Europe.

@clintweathers4755 The only thing i know about Brazil is that they have birthright citizenship like the US, nothing else comes to mind. Good luck, I love southern Brazil!

@davesmith5260 I am in! I love Brazil, I honestly don't know how anyone gets any work done there (maybe they don't? LOL) because so many Brazilians are so friendly and spend so much time saying nice things to each other when meeting - even when meeting people they know very well and see all the time. It must take 4-5 hours to get to your desk at work every morning with all the running around telling everyone else how beautiful, fantastic and wonderful you think they are today.

In the US they will take the IRAs and 401Ks based on "fairness". Some people saved, some people didn't. UNFAIR! And they will do it in some 50,000 page omnibus budget reconciliation so you won't even know.

The US is a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

@LoveClassicMusic0205 It's funny because I think it was a raging success for governments and they will absolutely do it again. Tyrants never return new superpowers. You would be denied entry to Canada either by an airline or at the border. US law is that unvaxxed foreigners cannot enter. I too have heard stories of Canadians crossing over via roads, but I've never met a Canadian who has successfully done so. I fear this is an urban legend. Border patrol takes its job seriously on our Northern border.

I am coming! Just to check it out with my gringo husband. We have to have more options to live a pleasant life without all this US/EU/Argentina BS.

Don't be a meanie.

My Lebanese driver left Dubai because his English was not good enough. LOL. Arabic is really not required to live there at all. But I get why it might be to gain citizenship. Thanks for the info.

@Joao-xz7hc Nope, they don't.

They want inflation because the US is a debtor nation. For them inflation means they can pretend to pay their debts with fake money. My country (Argentina) pretty much wrote the book on this. The US could raise interest rates and stop their irresponsible monetary policy and "fix" it (with a lot of pain), but they won't. Next comes wage and price controls and increased divisive rhetoric for political gain, just listen to Brandon right now. He is basically a sock puppet being run by the loony American left (and Ron Klain), getting whatever they want and being mad about it.

@dsteere2303 You take a Yellow Fever, TB, and Hepatitis vaccine routinely before travel? That explains a lot!

You are either 7 feet tall are those are some low ceilings. Other than that the bones are good.

@chanelc0 People reach deep these days in the search to be offended. I've heard the "America" complaint once or twice in Argentina (from women who like being offended) and zero times in Uruguay. Personally I think if Uruguay could eject itself from the Americas and stick itself onto Europe it probably would. I am American by immigration/naturalization and from Argentina. I am neither offended nor confused by these facts. Why echo silly complaints? Peru is Peru, Uruguay is Uruguay, Mexico is Mexico and Argentina sucks. LOL.

The Dutch government does not like citizens to have 2 or more passports. Germany is also very difficult about allowing citizens to have second passports. I believe Austria is the same.
1
@madsgedanken6903 They allow it under "special circumstances" only. The new German government says they may change this, I am waiting but not overly optimistic.
1
@madsgedanken6903 I have no idea how someone got a German and an Australian passport years ago, it must have been under "special circumstances". The current government has just now said it MAY relax the rules, but honestly, don't take my word for it (obviously you won't), verify with a German immigration attorney. Germans are also extremely picky about immigration by descent. I am currently sitting in a room with about 20 Germans who would immediately get a second passport were they allowed to do so. And I would get a German passport if it the rules were not so strict.

The US actually has a negative tax rate for the poorest. It's all irrelevant if they do not stop printing dollars like maniacs.

Get married to a local. Some local laws are still a pain, but it is very doable.

Anywhere that collectivizes your health is bad. And its a global trend, unfortunately.

Now if we could just stop the outflow of Californians into better run states, because they are bringing their stupid with them.

@Redneckboy991 I hate that our US borders are closed to unvaxxed Canadians (and unvaxxed everyone else). Maybe with a regime change in the US this policy will change. Then you could just drive out and never look back. I saw what lockdown was like in Argentina, absolute insanity, very similar to Canada maybe worse. A big sorry from me on behalf of my stupid government holding hands with your stupid government to the detriment of us all.

@ib9511 I hear Americans complaining about having to take a PCR test (rapid test, whatever, all these BS tests) when returning to the country. But for citizens (who are the only voters, in theory) there is no vax mandate to enter, just the annoying test. The mandate is just for foreigners who want to enter the country legally. I do not hear Americans complaining about the border vax mandate at all, so I think it will be with us a long time. I hate that it makes a prison colony out of Canada, and I hate that my unvaxxed foreign friends cannot visit. Maybe 2024. It cannot come soon enough.

Depends where you live. Outside big cities a car is great if you don't just want to go where they have built railroad tracks.

Clemenceau? I am dubious about any list with this on top, no disrespect to all the others on the list. There are many fine hospitals on Earth. Many doctors (the ones people want to see) in Lebanon are Lebanese-Americans fresh off the boat from California, botoxing the Real Housewives of Beirut. But no way anyone should fly to Clemenceau for a procedure (unless they are maybe in Syria, but even then just get yourself to Israel). Pick a hospital in a country where the power is always on. Anywhere you directly pay for the service called healthcare you will get better service and pricing than a place where it is third party paid and regarded as an entitlement. FWIW my rich Lebanese relatives always fly to the Cleveland Clinic, version 1.0.
