I'm now in my fifties, with two genetic, chronic illnesses (ankylosing

Should I think of moving back to the States?

Thanks for the OT in your post
MAN! You have opened a can of worms w this NOW!
Healthcare is the major issue here other than wars and bailouts
I would not even aatempt to go into this on this list, but at our age, my
wife and I, health insurance is our largest expense by far
Fortunately we have enough $$ for catastrophic insurance but I shudder to
think what if?
Most American cannot say the same.

I am sorry for your illnesses and I do wish you the best
but
I hope that this topic does not burst into flames
