Hey, @dandays.

When you say guaranteed or not guaranteed, are you talking about actual health or access to medical care?

From what you said, I get the idea I'm working a minimum of half my life, no matter what. Sounds lovely. :)

I gotta think there's more to the equation. Some downside to living anywhere else. I think you've probably chronicled them one more than once in your travel posts. As you say, you'd live there if you'd found the place that was best.
