Information about US Health System

If you are happy with your current care and are getting what you need, I would not recommend coming to the US. There is no flat answer for you.....you could come here and get a good job with a big corporation and find that you can get good coverage; but, it will still cost you. Pemiums for insurance....co-pays and deductibles. Just to give you an idea. My DH works for a good size corporation.

We have been happy with our coverage....no denials. They cover my meds and whatever I need; but, I have co-pays and deductibles. We just did our taxes and I had NO hospital visits or IVs last year. We spent 18,000 on premiums, co-pays, deductibles, meds and other healthcare costs for a family of 3 last year. BTW, my DH and daughter rarely go to the doctor.

Congrats on your tx and I hope you find your hearts desire in whatever you do<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
