We can live in the E.U. (dual citizenship), and whether health insurance is free or simply more affordable depends on the country and factors like residency status and length of residency. Alternately, lots of U.S. residents retire to places like Mexico and pay for private insurance, which from what I've read and our members here report, is very affordable. I'm not looking for free health care. We would just move if we can't get any health insurance without lifetime or annual caps here due to pre-existing conditions. I don't want to be in a position of risking our life savings on a medical bankruptcy when I don't think that would even be an issue in any other developed country in the world.

"This is the fundamental fact of American health care: We pay much, much more than other countries do for the exact same things."
It's for the simple fact they health care in the US is profit driven.
