I'm getting worried.

Although born an American, I've lived and fished in Ireland and the UK
for a long time.

But I've been reading recently just how bad the socialist health care
over here is, compared to the USA. The Investors' Business Daily wrote
recently:

'The U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence
(NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a
cost-utility analysis based on the "quality adjusted life year."
'One year in perfect health gets you one point. Deductions are
taken for blindness, for being in a wheelchair and so on.
'The more points you have, the more your life is considered worth
saving, and the likelier you are to get care.
'People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in
the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this
brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially
worthless.'

And this recent Fox News report

demonstrates that the British National Health system is responsible for
a substatial proportion of international terrorism.

I'm now in my fifties, with two genetic, chronic illnesses (ankylosing
spondylitis and hemochromatosis) which need constant attention.

Should I think of moving back to the States?
